About this map

Line Creek and its many tributaries, including Cubahatchee Creek and Old Town Creek, define the hydrologic character of this rural landscape near the Macon County line. The settlement of Chesson serves as a central point along the local road network, which includes historically named routes like Chesson Plantation Rd and Barganier Rd. This 2011 survey captures a region deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by numerous small family and community burial grounds.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of sites like the White Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, Oswalt Cemetery, and Silah Cemetery. The map also details several smaller bodies of water and infrastructure features such as Weiss Lake, Halls Pond, and the Baca Dam, which reflect the area's agricultural and land-management history. These features, combined with markers like Cross Keys, document the persistent geography of this Alabama countryside.
