About this map

Suburban development in south Montgomery transitions into the rural farmland of south-central Alabama, where historic homesteads and cemeteries define the landscape. The northern portion is densely populated with residential enclaves like Bellwood Plantation, Olde Acres, and Brighton Estates, while educational institutions such as Auburn University-Montgomery and Amridge Univ anchor the local community. Major thoroughfares including the Troy Hwy and Vaughn Rd facilitate the outward expansion of the city into the surrounding countryside.

Moving south, the terrain opens toward the agricultural and wooded reaches of Pike Road and the namesake settlement of Barachias. This area preserves significant local history through its many family and community burial grounds, such as Taylor Cem and Jones Cem. The presence of Perrys Mill and Perrys Mill Cem near Catoma Creek highlights the importance of the local creek systems to early industry and settlement patterns in this part of Montgomery County.
