2014 Map of Seaboard

About this map

Sims Chapel and Seaboard anchor this pocket of Washington County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Bilbo Cr and Tiger Br. In the early 21st century, the area retains a quiet, rural character marked by a network of local roads such as Hawthorn RD and Abb RD that connect scattered settlements like Topton and Uniform. Genealogists and local historians can find several significant burial grounds, including the Howard Town Cem, Chalker Memorial Cem, and the Old Methodist Cem near the western edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the lowlands near Johnston Br and Governors Br up toward High Rocky Hill in the northeast, illustrating the rolling topography of southwest Alabama. The intricate web of named branches, such as Wolf Br and Rowell Br, suggests a well-watered timber and agricultural environment that has shaped property lines and road placements for generations.
