About this map

The Conecuh River snakes through the heart of this Escambia County landscape, defined by a network of winding local roads and small rural communities. The small settlement of Roberts sits near the eastern edge of the survey, while Rock Hill is situated in the northwest. This area of Alabama is heavily drained by numerous tributaries, including Bethea Mill Creek and Yellow Water Creek, which carve through the terrain between family-named roads like Jack Byrd Rd and Dawkins Rd.

Family history is well-preserved here through several religious and burial sites. Genealogists can locate May Creek Church and its accompanying May Creek Cemetery in the north, while the Fuqua Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery are found further south. Transport across the river is facilitated by Parker Bridge, a key crossing point that connects the various timber and farming tracks that crisscross the region.
