About this map

Duncanville serves as the central hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of several drainage systems and the Gulf Central Illinois Railroad. Much of the southern portion of the terrain is defined by the Talladega National Forest and the Oakmulgee Wildlife Management Area, where the Shiloh Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark. The network of watercourses, including Big Sandy Creek and Horse Creek, illustrates a heavily dissected topography typical of the region east of Tuscaloosa.

Local life in the late 1960s is reflected in the numerous rural congregations such as Mt Zion Ch, Mt Olive Ch, and Mt Sinai Ch. Genealogists may find value in the location of the South Sandy Cem and the Old Railroad Grade, which highlights the shifting transportation infrastructure. The landscape also features several private water bodies like Skyview Lake and Pattons Lake, which dot the northern hills above the Freeman Line Road.
