About this map

Steelwood Lake lies at the heart of this landscape, fed by Roans Creek and surrounded by a complex network of waterways including Juniper Creek and Flat Creek. The terrain is defined by the southeasterly flow of the Styx River and the Blackwater River, which carve through the woodland and agricultural plots of central Baldwin County. This 1980s record captures the region’s rural infrastructure, from the small community of Loxley in the southwest corner to the Rosinton Ch and Styx River Ch.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the decommissioned routes and extraction sites scattered across the quadrangle. The Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to the Styx River, tracing a path near several clay and sand pits. Local genealogy and land use are further marked by Dyes Cem and the prominent Brady Road, while the Radio Tower (WEAR) stands as a modern landmark in the lower drainage of Persimmon Creek.
