2018 Map of Francis Mill

About this map

Lincoln sits at the southern edge of this East Alabama landscape, where the terrain transitions from the developed corridors of t16s r5e into the creek-fed lowlands of the Coosa River valley. The map documents a rural network of small communities and family landmarks, such as Martins Mill and Macon, situated between the ridges. The influence of the river is evident at Poes Bend and Kirkseys Bend, while Logan Martin Lake occupies the northwestern corner. Genealogists can find several historic burial sites, including Pattons Chapel Cem, Refuge Cem, and Creswell Cem. The road network preserves legacy routes like Fomby's Ferry Rd and the Jackson Trace Rd, tracing the movement of early settlers through these hills long before modern highways reshaped the Coosa valley.
