About this map

Central Mills serves as a central point in this rural landscape where the borders of Dallas, Marengo, Perry, and Wilcox counties converge. The area is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Chilatchee Creek and its tributary Little Chilatchee Cr, which carve through the terrain alongside family-named landmarks like Robert Cain Rd and Taylor Rd. These streams and man-made reservoirs like Sand Cr Lake Number One suggest a landscape historically tied to local agriculture and timber.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several rural burial sites, such as New Bethel Springs Cem and Mount Zion Cem. The settlement of Blalock sits to the east, while Carleys is situated at the southwestern edge of the survey, reflecting the persistent small-town footprint in this corner of Alabama. The integration of local county roads like Dallas Co 109 provides a clear view of how these remote communities remained connected into the twenty-first century.
