2020 Map of Rutherford

About this map

The community of Rutherford sits at the center of this rural landscape, defined by an intricate network of waterways that drain the borderlands between Russell and Barbour counties. The terrain is marked by the various branches of the Cowikee Creek system, including the N Fork Cowikee Cr and Middle Fork Cowikee Cr, which meander through a series of wetlands and bottomlands. To the east, the settlement of Persons is situated near Hatchechubbee Cr, illustrating how early agricultural settlement patterns in this part of Alabama followed the elevation breaks and water sources.
