About this map

Chestnut Creek and its various forks, including the South Prong, wind through this central Alabama landscape, defining the rural character of the region. The eastern outskirts of Clanton are visible in the northwest, where the Chilton County Airport and Chilton Memorial Gardens mark the transition from the town center to the countryside. The map reveals a dense network of country roads connecting small settlements like Falakto, Cooper, and Verbena, reflecting a persistent pattern of rural habitation.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from larger community grounds like the Clanton Cemetery and Verbena Cemetery to smaller family plots such as the Aldridge Family Cemetery. The presence of numerous spiritual landmarks, including the Oak Grove Church of God and Concord Cemetery, highlights the importance of local congregations in the social fabric of Chilton County. Water features like T J Stewart Lake and Shelton Barkley Lake suggest a landscape shaped by local agriculture and private land management.
