About this map

Conecuh National Forest dominates this section of southern Alabama, where a network of wetlands and named ponds defines the landscape. The small settlements of Falco, Beda, and Wing serve as local hubs, connected by winding forest routes and county roads. The terrain is notably aquatic, featuring a dense collection of water bodies like Blue Lake, Open Pond, and Ditch Pond, alongside the winding course of the Yellow River. In the swampy reaches of Blackwater Cr, unusual landforms such as Dans Island, Burman Island, and Lenhart Island emerge from the low-lying marshes.

Local history is anchored by the Beda Cem, situated near the center of the survey. The map details the hydrology of the region extensively, tracing numerous drainages including Five Runs Creek, Boggy Hollow Cr, and Larkin Cr. For those studying the rural development of Covington County, the proximity of these small communities to the surrounding natural resources and the extensive Conecuh Trail provides a clear view of the area's modern layout.
