2018 Map of Claud

About this map

Eclectic sits at the northern edge of this landscape in Elmore County, serving as a gateway to a countryside defined by the winding course of Chubbehatchee Cr. The settlement patterns here reflect a tradition of rural community hubs like Claud and Good Hope, where local life once centered around small family farmsteads and numerous country graveyards. The terrain is marked by the prominence of Heck Ridge and drained by a complex network of waterways including Tumkeehatchee Cr and Wallahatchee Cr. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites, such as China Grove Cem, Marshall Cem, and Sheppard Cem, which are scattered across the townships. The transition from the more settled northern hills to the lowlands of Crabapple Valley illustrates the shift in agriculture and land use during this modern era.
