About this map

Centreville serves as the focal point for this Bibb County landscape, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cuts a path eastward toward the small settlements of Vick and Maud. The area is notably defined by its religious and educational foundations, featuring several country churches including Rising Star Ch and Mount Zion Ch, along with the Cahaba Academy located near the Cahaba River.

South of the main settlement, the terrain transitions into the protected woodlands of the Talladega National Forest, an area drained by the winding courses of Sandy Creek and Gully Creek. Local genealogy is anchored by the presence of the Crockett McKinney Cem and Sandy Cem, while the County Airport and a localized Gravel Pit indicate the mid-century infrastructure and industrial activity supporting the community during the late 1970s.
