2020 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace serves as a central point of interest in this portion of Escambia County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries flowing toward the larger river basins of southern Alabama. The settlement is anchored by Wallace Church and the nearby Wallace Church Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical research in this rural area. To the east, the community of Appleton sits near the headwaters of Burnt Corn Cr, while the southern reaches of the map are drained by Franklin Mill Cr and Sevenmile Cr. The terrain is characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Hanberry Cem, Hammac Cem, and Cooper Cem, which are linked by a web of local roads such as Wallace Rd and Co Rd 40. This network of waterways and cemeteries suggests a long-standing pattern of dispersed rural settlement dependent on the local creek system.
