About this map

Hatchechubbee Creek and its many tributaries, including Watermelon Creek and Weolustee Creek, define the rolling drainage patterns of this corner of eastern Alabama. The settlement of Pittsview serves as a central point of interest, located near the Pittsview Cemetery and the intersection of Pittsview Highway. Further south, the map details the community of Glenville at the boundary of Russell County and Barbour County.

Tracing the small watercourses like Schoolhouse Branch and Cliatt Branch reveals a landscape historically divided by the Public Land Survey System, as evidenced by the numerous township and range lines. The presence of Comers Pond and Burts Lake suggests local agricultural or recreational impoundments. Smaller settlements like Hooks and a network of named rural roads, such as Honeysuckle Drive and Old Seal Highway, provide a granular look at the modern rural layout of this region.
