2014 Map of Saint Stephens

About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through the border of Clarke and Washington counties, anchoring a landscape where Alabama's early territorial history remains visible through its numerous burial grounds. Near the settlement of Saint Stephens, the river topography includes notable landmarks like Lovers Leap and Cowans Bluff, while the inland area is marked by a network of creek drainages including Tauler Cr and Gordy Mill Cr. This region, central to the state's foundation, is dotted with genealogical waypoints such as Old Saint Stephens Cem and Mt Nebo Cem. The terrain south toward Leroy and Wilson transitions into a dense web of local roads and watercourses like Bassetts Cr, reflecting a rural community deeply tied to the river's path and the surrounding timber and agriculture lands. A significant industrial presence is noted via the Cement Plant Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural resources and local infrastructure.
