2018 Map of Cantelous

About this map

The Montgomery Regional Airport (Dannelly Field) serves as a primary geographic anchor for this 2018 study of the Alabama landscape southwest of the state capital. The area is defined by the winding course of Pintlala Creek and the broader valley of Catoma Creek, where the terrain transitions from the upland heights of Gunter Hill and Cantelous Hill toward the river bottoms. This modern survey reflects a mix of suburban expansion and traditional land use, noting established settlements like Cantelous and Catoma. Genealogy and local history are preserved in several family-named burial grounds, including Stones Cem, Cantelous Cem, and Davis Cem. Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large R E 'Bob' Woodruff Reservoir to the smaller, more isolated Sugarberry Lake and Lake Bowling south of the airport.
