2020 Map of Vinegar Bend

About this map

Vinegar Bend and the crossroads at Four Point anchor this rural landscape in Washington County, Alabama, defined by a complex network of wetlands and creek branches. The Escatawpa River winds along the western edge, while smaller water bodies like D R Stallworth Pond and Pagnells Pond dot the lowlands. The survey reveals a region shaped by its hydrology, with numerous drainages such as W Pine Barren Cr and Bilbo Cr feeding into the larger river system. Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks in the Four Points Cem and Tibbie Cem, which sit alongside a web of local roads named for prominent area families, including Elmer Jordan Rd, Bama Williams Rd, and Baxter-Mclwain Rd. This road network illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns that have remained centered on these small communities and family landholdings into the modern era.
