About this map

Styx River and its numerous tributaries, including Reedy Creek, Flat Creek, and Hollinger Creek, dominate this Baldwin County landscape. The area is characterized by a mix of natural waterways and significant water management features, notably the Tennessee Coal and Iron Dam at Steelwood Lake and the John Q Kendrick Dam creating Lake Kendrick. These structures illustrate the industrial and agricultural development of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Hinote Cemetery and Dyes Cemetery, which sit alongside family-named roads such as Brady Rd and Barnhill Farm Rd. The presence of Turpentine Camp points to the historical importance of the naval stores industry in Alabama's pine forests, while the Old Mill Bridge across Hollinger Creek marks an earlier era of local infrastructure.
