2011 Map of Brantley

About this map

Conecuh River meanders through the heart of this Crenshaw County landscape, defining the topography of a region steeped in Alabama's agricultural and rural traditions. The town of Brantley serves as the primary hub, situated near the confluence of several vital water bodies including Smiths Lake and Thagard Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial sites, including Camerons Chapel Cemetery and Davis Cemetery, which sit alongside a network of family-named roads such as Kimbro Rd and Lester Bell Rd. The map reveals a transition from these clustered settlements to the outlying communities of Theba, New Hope, and Sports. This 2011 survey captures the area's reliance on its waterway system, evidenced by numerous man-made structures like the Bryce Smith Dam and L D Thaggard Dam, which have managed the local hydraulic resources for generations.
