About this map

Davis Crossroads and the surrounding Montgomery County countryside appear as a network of rural homesteads and family-named landmarks in this early 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by its social centers, including numerous country churches such as Jericho Ch, Bethelonnia Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, which often served as the primary gathering points for these farming communities. The road system, including Woodley Road and Hance Mill Road, connects scattered settlements like Robinson Crossroads and Red Level.

A small Landing Strip and a Radio Tower indicate modern infrastructure reaching the area, while the topography remains heavily influenced by the drainage basins of Catoma Creek and Sandy Creek. Local genealogists can trace property locations near Hobbie Farm or identify family resting places at Underwood Cem, Kennedy Cem, and Orme Cem, documenting the enduring rural character of this Alabama region before significant suburban expansion.
