About this map

Latham and Vaughn sit at the center of this rural Baldwin County landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the lowlands of Coon Neck. The settlement pattern follows a network of local roads such as Old Stage Rd and Bryants Landing Rd, connecting family-named landmarks and historical sites. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Lancaster Cem near Canaan Rd W and the Richerson Cem further south near Rice Creek.

The geography is defined by a dense web of waterways, including Globe Creek, Farris Cr, and Halls Cr, which drain the undulating timberlands. These creeks and their tributaries, like Watson Cr and Aikin Cr, influenced the placement of early homesteads and agricultural plots. The inclusion of names like St Lukes Church Rd suggests the enduring presence of local community hubs in this quiet corner of the Alabama coastal plain.
