2014 Map of Brassell

About this map

Chubbehatchee Creek winds southward through the center of this landscape, eventually meeting the Tallapoosa River as it forms the boundary between Elmore, Montgomery, and Macon counties. The map documents a blend of expanding residential development around Emerald Mountain and Redland in the north, contrasted with the more traditional rural settlement patterns further south. Genealogists will find a significant density of family and community burial grounds, including the Billingslea Cem, Strahan Cem, and the Wares Quarter Cem near Ware. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the rail corridor at Mount Meigs Station and the crossroad communities of Brassell and Tysonville, where the land flattens as it approaches Line Creek. Small local landmarks like the Emerald Mountain Airport and water bodies such as Poundstone Lake dot the terrain, illustrating the modern character of this transitional Alabama landscape.
