About this map

The community of Pine Apple sits at the northern edge of this south Alabama landscape, where the rolling timberlands meet the complex headwaters of the Alabama River basin. Early 21st-century rural life here is defined by small, dispersed settlements like Awin and Old Texas and a network of county roads such as Al-47 and Pineapple Hwy. The map reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including Bethlehem Cem, Jenkins Chapel Cem, and Pine Flat Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research and family history in the region.

The terrain is dissected by numerous watercourses, most notably Turkey Cr and Sturdivant Creek, which drain the ridges of Wilcox, Monroe, and Butler counties. These creek bottoms and small tributaries like Brickyard Br have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small-scale agriculture, while the county boundaries themselves—intersecting in a cluster near the map's center—illustrate the overlapping administrative histories of these rural Alabamian communities.
