About this map

The Talladega National Forest dominates this section of the Alabama landscape, where the borders of Perry, Chilton, and Dallas Counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Frith Branch and Buck Creek, which carve through the wooded uplands. Settlement patterns here are primarily centered around rural landmarks and hunting culture, evidenced by several specialized sites such as the Little Pryor Creek Hunt Camp and Chestnut Hill Hunter Camp.

Genealogists will find interest in several country churches and burial grounds that anchor the local history, including Poplar Grove Church and Lovelady Cem. Small communities like Fullers and Panhandle appear alongside light industrial remnants such as a Gravel Pit near Osborn Creek. This survey reflects a moment where traditional timber and hunting lands remained the primary use of the central Alabama interior.
