About this map

Little Escambia Creek winds south through this corner of Alabama, connecting a series of small rural settlements including Pollard, Osaka, and Welka. The landscape is defined by its industrial and natural resources, featuring the Chavers Creek Oil Field and Fanny Church Oil Field. These energy sites are interspersed with family-named landmarks and infrastructure such as the Randolph Jernigan Dam on Jernigan Lake. To the southeast, the broad Conecuh River meanders across the territory, marking a significant hydrological feature of the region.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Hillcrest Cemetery, Pollard Cemetery, and the Henderson Cemetery near the riverbanks. The map also captures several smaller communities like Hammac and Foshee in the north, showing the persistent settlement patterns in this part of Escambia County. The road network, including Foshee Rd and Chavers Creek Rd, provides a clear view of how these remote hamlets and industrial sites were linked together.
