2014 Map of Shipps Creek

About this map

Boykin sits at the intersection of local history and rural geography in the southeast corner of this Escambia County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the central Shipps Cr and its tributaries such as Bethea Mill Cr and Crossway Cr. These waterways carve through a terrain etched with numerous timber and access roads, such as Miller Reserve Rd and Truck Trl 11, reflecting the region's long-standing relationship with forest management and agriculture. Genealogists will find interest in Still Cem located north of the Us-29 corridor, a highway that provides the primary modern artery through these woodlands. Family-named landmarks like Goulsby Farm Rd and Still Rd suggest the enduring presence of local lineages within this quiet corner of Alabama.
