2020 Map of Skipperville

About this map

Skipperville and the surrounding rural communities of Dale and Barbour Counties are defined by a network of creek crossings and small crossroads settlements. The landscape is carved by the W Fork Choctawhatchee River and its numerous tributaries, including Judy Creek and Cotton Cr. This survey illustrates the distribution of family and community spaces, with multiple historical burial grounds such as the Union Presbyterian Church Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and Antioch Cem serving as local landmarks. The importance of historical water-powered industry is evident in the naming of river infrastructure, specifically at Metcalf Mill Bridge and Bottoms Mill Bridge. These sites, along with Dixon Bridge and Glenn Bridge, highlight the essential transit points that have linked these agricultural hamlets for generations.
