About this map

Montgomery expands into the surrounding agricultural landscape on this 2024 survey, where suburban development meets older rural settlements like Barachias and Pike Road. The map reveals a high density of family burial sites and historical markers, such as the McLemore Taylor Burial Ground and Green Family Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of this corner of Alabama.

Institutional growth is evident through the footprints of Auburn University Montgomery and Amridge University, while the landscape to the south remains defined by the winding course of Catoma Creek and Little Catoma Creek. This area preserves traces of early industry and community life, anchored by sites like Perrys Mill and its associated Perrys Mill Cem. The transition from the urban grid to more open tracts near Herman Gibson Lake and Miller Pond highlights the changing character of the region as it balances modern infrastructure with its historic rural foundations.
