2020 Map of Central Mills

About this map

Central Mills and the nearby settlement of Blalock anchor this rural landscape where Dallas, Perry, Marengo, and Wilcox counties converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Chilatchee Creek and English Creek, which drain the timbered and agricultural uplands. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, notably the New Bethel Springs Cem and Mount Zion Cem. Transportation in this part of the Alabama Black Belt follows a grid of established routes like Dallas Co 109 and Bush Oak Rd, connecting dispersed homesteads and small family settlements such as Carleys. Small-scale water features like Bon Aire Lake and Sand Cr-Lake Number One suggest a history of land management and local recreation in this quiet corner of the South.
