About this map

The Tallapoosa River defines the landscape as it winds across the central portion of this Alabama quadrangle, marking the boundary between Elmore and Montgomery counties. This area east of Montgomery shows a transition from the developing residential community at Emerald Mountain to the more rural, agricultural lands of Ware and Brassell. The mapping reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Billingslea Cem, Hickory Bend Cem, and Wares Quarter Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this region.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the Ohio Ferro Rd corridor passing through Mount Meigs Station, while several smaller watercourses like Chubbehatchee Creek and Miller Creek feed into the river system. The presence of Emerald Mountain Airport and the expanding road network near Pike Road contrast with the traditional land divisions and scattered settlements that have long characterized this part of the Alabama river valley.
