About this map

Montgomery expands southeastward in this 2020 record, where the urban grid of the city meets the rural traditions of the county. The landscape is dotted with family and community burial grounds like Perrys Mill Cem, Pinkston Cem, and Ray Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in the communities of Barachias and Pike Road. Higher education is a prominent feature of the local geography, with the campuses of Auburn University - Montgomery, Amridge University, and South University positioned near the primary transit corridors.

The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Catom Creek and Little Catoma Creek, which move through a network of wetlands and ponds including Herman Gibson Lake and Miller Pond. While modern development is evident near Kershaw Airport and major roadways, older settlements like Macedonia and Pinedale remain distinct. The map preserves the specific locations of historic mills and local landmarks like Perrys Mill, offering a comprehensive look at how this Alabama landscape balances institutional growth with its agrarian roots.
