2014 Map of Wallace

About this map

Little Escambia Creek and its many tributaries, including Wild Fork Creek and Dean Creek, define the landscape of this Escambia County region. The small settlement of Wallace serves as a central point for the surrounding rural area, which is characterized by a network of family-named roads and burial sites that offer deep insights for local genealogists. Several significant cemeteries, such as the Wallace Church Cemetery and Pleasant Hill Cemetery, are tucked into the drainages of the watershed. To the east, the community of Appleton sits near the headwaters of Burnt Corn Creek. The presence of the CCC Trail reflects historical land management efforts in the area, while the branching creek systems like Chavers Creek and Franklin Mill Creek highlight the importance of water resources to the early development of these rural Alabama townships.
