About this map

Bassetts Creek flows through the northern reaches of this Washington County landscape, where small settlements like Wagarville and Cortelyou define the rural character. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including the Ben Rodgers Lee Memorial Bridge and Hawthorn Pines Airport. These features, alongside Ebenezer Cem and Lewis Grove Cem, provide valuable waypoints for genealogists tracing ancestral roots in southwestern Alabama.

The hydrology of the area is exceptionally detailed, with numerous small tributaries such as Gordy Mill Cr, Armstrong Cr, and Litty Spring Br carving through the terrain. These watercourses influenced the placement of early homesteads and road networks like Mobile Cut-Off Rd and Tarver Rd. From the Gravel Pit near the center to the southern cluster around Sunflower, the map preserves the mid-2010s footprint of these storied communities.
