About this map

The town of Eclectic serves as a focal point in this portion of Elmore County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Channahatchee Creek and the expansive northern reaches of Martin Lake. The topography is characterized by numerous small drainages and family-named landmarks, such as Neros Point and Pine Point, which suggest the area's transition into a more leisure-oriented lakeside environment. To the north and west, the smaller settlements of Seman, Kid, and Central reveal a pattern of rural habitation connected by local routes like Central Rd and Boswell Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community centers and resting places. The Emmanuel Holiness Campground and the Central Post Office reflect the social hubs of these rural townships, while several burial sites, including the Cotton Cemetery, Thrash Cemetery, and Bullard Cemetery, provide specific locations for family history research. Along the shores of Martin Lake, the presence of the Camp Kiwanis Girl Scout Camp and the Tallecoriocko Camp highlights the region's role as a destination for outdoor youth organizations.
