About this map

The Conecuh River meanders across this landscape during the mid-1960s, forming a wide floodplain that separates the northern and southern portions of the quadrangle. The Central of Georgia railroad provides a primary transportation spine, passing through the settlement of Saco and near the community at Linwood. The terrain is characterized by numerous small ridges and valleys, with prominent features like Backbone and Wolfpit Hill rising above the winding creek beds.

Genealogists will find a dense network of country churches and burial sites, such as Zebulon Ch, Carrs Chapel, and Mt Zion Cem. Small rural centers like Sandfield, Beans Crossroads, and Omega are connected by a web of local roads, reflecting the post-war rural infrastructure of Pike and Bullock Counties. Numerous water features, including Green Acres Lake and several Flowing Wells, highlight the local hydrology of the river basin.
