About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders across this landscape, defining the transition from the hills of Lamar Co into the floodplains that stretch toward the state line. At the southeastern corner, the town of Sulligent serves as a local hub, while the smaller settlement of Gattman sits directly on the boundary with Monroe County, Mississippi. This area is heavily dotted with family and community burial grounds, including Sandlin Cem, Blaylock Cem, and Macedonia Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage in this corner of Alabama.

Agricultural and timber roads like Jaggers Rd and Byson Rd crisscross the terrain between water bodies such as Bogue Cr and Turkey Cr. In the northern reaches, the community of Pine Springs is marked by its own Pine Springs Cemetery and nearby Pine Springs Creek, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local hydrology. The northwestern section is defined by the Sipsey Fork and the rural road network including Sipsey Detroit Rd, illustrating the traditional movement patterns of this river-border region.
