About this map

The Conecuh River winds through the central landscape of this Southeast Alabama region, defining the border between Bullock and Pike counties. The area is characterized by a network of small agricultural settlements and crossroads communities, with Saco serving as a central point along the north-south transit. Significant relief is found at Devils Backbone and Wolfpit Hill, which overlook the numerous tributaries like Morgan Br and Buckhorn Cr that feed into the larger river system.

Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds and church sites, including Old Canaan Cem, Sandfield Cem, and Catalpa Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. These sites, alongside settlements such as Beans Crossroads, Linwood, and Sandfield, reflect the long-standing family and community ties in this rural district. Water features such as Green Acres Lake and Greens Pond dot the terrain, which remains largely defined by its natural drainage patterns and the historic county line.
