About this map

The boundary lines of Clay, Tallapoosa, and Randolph counties converge in this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of small family-named landmarks and country churches. The area around Daviston and Zana is characterized by its rolling topography and numerous small drainages like Emuckfaw Creek and Milam Creek. Local history and genealogy interest is particularly high here due to the presence of legacy sites such as the Zana Training School and the Old Vickers Cemetery.

Institutional life in the late 1960s is anchored by several small congregations, including McGuire Chapel, Leander Ch, and Mt Zion Ch. The landscape also reveals the infrastructure of fire prevention and land management through the Rocky Mount Lookout Tower, situated near Rocky Mount Ch. These features, along with the Freeman Line boundary, provide a clear view of the traditional land divisions and community hubs in this part of east-central Alabama.
