1983 Map of Alma

About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary slices diagonally across this Clarke County landscape, serving as a silent reminder of early territorial demarcations in Alabama. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Salt Creek, Reedy Creek, and Drummer Creek, which navigate the elevation changes around Roundtop Hill. Much of the southern portion of the quadrangle is dedicated to the Fred T Stimpson State Game Sanctuary, a large protected area bordered by Limestone Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like Rockville and Alma anchor the rural community, while a significant concentration of local churches, such as Mt Sinai No 1 Ch, St Matthews Ch, and Perry Chapel, suggests a landscape shaped by tight-knit congregational life. For genealogists, the map preserves specific burial sites like McGowan Cem, alongside evidence of local industry at the Gravel Pit.
