About this map

Whitfield and the surrounding timber and creek lands of west Alabama are defined by a network of drainage systems like Cotohaga Creek and Kinterbish Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations such as Black Bluff and Maggs Bluff, which overlook the eastern water bodies. Historical settlement patterns are evident in the placement of the Black Bluff Cem and Bethlehem Cem, situated near small community centers like Edna and Persimmon Grove.

The presence of the American Can Company Lake suggests mid-century industrial land management, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the Tombigbee River corridor, featuring Turkey Shoals and Coffeeville Lake. This area, spanning the border of Sumter and Choctaw counties, remains a landscape of rural roads like Boll Weevil Rd and CCC Rd, reflecting a long history of agricultural and forestry infrastructure.
