About this map

The West Fork Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Judy Cr and Cotton Cr, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Dale and Barbour counties. The settlement of Skipperville serves as a central point, surrounded by small farming communities and historic intersections such as Dykes Crossroads and Roberts Crossroads. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Antioch Cem, Union Cem, and Beersheba Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural Alabama region.

Several historic crossing points are noted, such as Metcalf Mill Bridge and Bottoms Mill Bridge, suggesting the locations of former water-powered industries along the creeks. The northern edge of Ozark begins to appear in the southwest, while the rest of the map remains characteristically agricultural with a dense network of county roads like Co RD 68 and Co RD 33 connecting the scattered hamlets of Arguta and Asbury.
