The mark consists of a map of ten counties in southeastern Alabama in green outlined in black, with a red star located in approximately the center of Dale County. Above the map of the ten counties is the phrase "LOCAL PEOPLE MEETING LOCAL NEEDS" in black against a white circle outlined in black. Surrounding the map and phrase is a shaded ring in aqua outlined in black. The word "WIREGRASS" in white curves across the top of the ring, from left to right. The words "RESOURCE CONSERVATION & DEVELOPMENT" in white curve downward from the left middle of the ring, across the bottom of the ring, and back up to the right middle of the ring. Two five pointed stars in yellow (one on the left and one on the right) within the shaded ring separate the "W" in "WIREGRASS" from the beginning "R" in "RESOURCE" and the last "S" in "WIREGRASS" from the "T" in "DEVELOPMENT", respectively.
