About this map

Vinegar Bend anchors the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the Vinegar Bend Post Office sits near the winding course of the Escatawpa River. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Creeping Swamp Creek, Long Branch, and West Pine Barren Creek that feed into the larger river system. Local hydrology is further marked by man-made features such as Stallworth Lake and Parnells Pond, both created by small dams like the D R Stallworth Dam.

Settlement patterns in this part of Washington County are centered around small communities and their respective landmarks. To the north, Tibbie is established with its own Tibbie Post Office and Tibbie Cemetery, while Four Point and the nearby Four Points Cemetery serve as local navigation points. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the region, where family names are preserved on landmarks and the local road network connects these isolated pockets of habitation.
