2020 Map of Chesson

About this map

Chesson and Shorter anchor this landscape where the boundaries of Montgomery, Macon, and Bullock Counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Old Town Cr and its associated wetlands, which dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Agricultural and residential life is organized around historical property lines and family landmarks, including a cluster of several cemeteries such as White Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Silah Cem. The map illustrates the contemporary rural character of the region, where legacy roads like Chesson Plantation Rd and Bargainer Rd connect dispersed settlements. Water features including Weiss Lake, Spains Lake, and Cubahatchee Cr reflect the natural drainage patterns of the Alabama coastal plain in the early 21st century.
