2014 Map of Vinegar Bend

About this map

Vinegar Bend and Tibbie anchor this corner of Washington County, where the southern Alabama landscape is defined by the winding course of the Escatawpa River. The map reveals a rural community structured around family-named land features and water bodies, such as Stallworth Lake and Parnells Pond. Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several focal points for the community, including the Tibbie Cem in the northeast and the Four Points Cem situated near the small settlement of Four Point. The topography is a dense network of tributaries including Creeping Swamp Cr, Bilbo Cr, and multiple branches of Pine Barren Creek. The road network, with names like Bama Williams Rd and Jordan Parnell Rd, suggests a long-standing connection between the land and the families who settled this timber and river country.
