About this map

Equality and Nixburg anchor this Alabama landscape where the Coosa, Elmore, and Tallapoosa county lines converge. The terrain is defined by the expansive eastern waters of Martin Lake, which creates a complex shoreline of inlets and points including Sunrise Ridge. A legacy of rural community life is visible in the density of cemeteries and small settlements, such as Hissop, Cottage Grove, and Fishpond.

A notable landmark is the Oakachoy Covered Bridge, which spans Oakachoy Cr in the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural uplands near Rocky Ford Cr to the water-oriented residential development along the lake. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Peace and Goodwill Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Harmony Cem, many of which remain tucked away along secondary roads like Covered Bridge RD.
