About this map

Stapleton serves as a central hub in this Baldwin County landscape, where modern transportation corridors intersect with older agricultural and family roots. The settlement of Malbis is clearly marked by the Malbis Fire Tower and its associated cemetery, while the Stapleton Post Office anchors the northern community near Pine Haven. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Fish River, Sibley Creek, and Threemile Creek, which drain the coastal plain towards the bay.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Durant Cemetery near Bromley and Sibley Cemetery. The map also captures specialized landmarks like the Simerly Lookout Tower and the Paul Childress Junior Lake Dam, reflecting the region's management of its timber and water resources. The transition from established town centers to rural stretches like Steelwood and Ellisville illustrates the late 20th-century growth patterns of coastal Alabama.
