About this map

University of Montevallo property and its surrounding lakefronts define the northern portion of this landscape, where College Lake and the University of Montevallo Lake sit near the settlement of Aldrich. The terrain follows the winding path of the Little Cahaba River, which flows past landmarks like McGuire Ford and Fitch Bridge. This area is characterized by several small rural hubs including Wilton, Brierfield, and Ashby, each connected by a network of local routes like Furnace Pkwy.

Family and community history is anchored in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including the Cahaba Valley Cemetery, Carlton Hill Cemetery, and Ebenezer Cemetery. Waterways such as Mahan Creek and Furnace Branch drain the lowlands, while specialized infrastructure like the Wilton Post Office and Brierfield Post Office indicate the established civic centers of these Alabama communities.
