About this map

Deatsville and the surrounding borderlands of Autauga and Elmore counties are captured here in the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a network of minor tributaries. The Seaboard railroad line serves as a primary corridor through the north, passing near Alpha Springs and several local landmarks. The map documents numerous community focal points, including Boone Chapel, Maranatha Church, and Faith Church, alongside institutional sites like the Frank Lee Correctional Youth Center and Ingram State Technical Institute.

Waterways like Mortar Creek, Kenner Creek, and Turnback Creek drain the undulating terrain, which transitions toward the more developed area of Millbrook in the southeast. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family and community burial grounds, such as Lily Green Cemetery, Holland Cemetery, and McKeithen Cemetery. The map also identifies local recreational and educational sites including Camp Grandview and the northern reaches of Prattville High School.
