2014 Map of White Oak

About this map

White Oak serves as a central landmark in this 2014 survey of Barbour County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and family legacies. The area is heavily intersected by water, including the winding Barbour Cr and its various tributaries such as Leak Cr and Dowdy Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as the Beauchamp Family Cem and Perkins Evans Cem located near the junction of CR-79 and Oneal Griffin Rd. The southern portion of the map is crossed by Al-30, providing a modern corridor through a region still characterized by timber and agricultural lands, as evidenced by the presence of Louisiana Pacific Rd. From Wyecott Lake in the north to the Mt Serene Cem further south, this map documents the persistent rural patterns of eastern Alabama.
