About this map

Clanton serves as the focal point for this survey of central Alabama, where the landscape is defined by the tributaries of Walnut Creek and Chestnut Creek. The area exhibits a dense concentration of historical burial sites, including the Aldridge Family Cemetery and Glad Tidings Cemetery, which offer valuable data points for genealogical research in Chilton County. To the southeast, the small settlements of Cooper and Verbena are positioned along the primary transit corridor, while Falakto remains a distinct named locality further west.

The topography is punctuated by man-made reservoirs such as Shelton Barkley Lake and T J Stewart Lake, reflecting 21st-century water management alongside traditional landmarks like Big Rock. The presence of Gragg Field and Chilton County Memorial Gardens near the city center highlights the developed nature of the county seat, contrasting with the more rural reaches of Cargle Creek and Hog Creek to the east.
