About this map

The Conecuh River winds through the heart of this Escambia County landscape, carving a broad valley punctuated by numerous oxbows and wetlands. Near Parker Bridge, the river's path is flanked by a dense network of timber-access roads like Forrest Ave and Bradley Rd, reflecting the region's enduring forestry character. The settlement of Roberts sits near the confluence of West-Prong Silas Creek and East-Prong Silas Creek, while the community of Rock Hill occupies the northwestern heights above the river bottomlands.

Local history is anchored by family and community landmarks, particularly the rural cemeteries that dot the terrain. Researchers can find May Creek Cem in the north, Bethel Cem centrally located near Bartime Rd, and Fuqua Cem further south. The drainage patterns of Yellow Water Cr and W Fork Big Coldwater Cr define the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology that influenced original land surveys and road placement.
