2018 Map of Wing

About this map

Beda and the nearby Beda Cem anchor this portion of southern Alabama, located within the expansive Conecuh National Forest. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and water bodies, including Blue Lake, Open Pond, and the Yellow River. Notable terrain features such as Dans Island, Burman Island, and Lenhart Island rise from the swampy lowlands, while named pockets like Possum Pocket and Wolf Thicket Bay suggest a long-standing local nomenclature tied to the area's wildlife and hunting history. Transport through this timber-rich region is facilitated by routes like Falco Rd and Bass Rd, connecting the small settlements of Falco and Wing. The drainage patterns are particularly complex here, with Five Runs Creek, Run Cr, and Crooked Cr carving through the forest toward the Florida border.
