About this map

Eclectic serves as a focal point in this 2023 survey of Elmore County, where the landscape is defined by the expansive reaches of Martin Lake and its intricate shoreline. The northern section of the map reveals the importance of the water, featuring points like Neros Point and Pine Point, along with Mariner Island. Inland, the terrain is carved by numerous watercourses including Little Kowaliga Creek and Chubbehatchee Creek, which drain the surrounding hills.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Mount Gilead Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery and Mount Hebron East Church Cemetery near the community of Jordan. Smaller settlements like Seman, Central, and Cotton are interconnected by a network of rural roads including the Central Plank Road, reflecting a long history of agricultural and timber activity in the Alabama interior.
