About this map

Lincoln anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the town limits transition into the rural communities of Martins Mill and Macon. The topography is defined by numerous waterways and drainage basins, including Acker Cr, Cane Creek, and Blue Eye Cr, which feed into local landmarks such as Brooks Lake and Catfish Lake. A network of historical roads like the Jackson Trace Rd and Francis Mill Rd provides a look at the established transit patterns through northern Talladega County.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Pattons Chapel Cem, Creswell Cem, and Refuge Cem. To the north, the terrain rises toward Ragland and the community of Boiling Springs, following the winding paths of Poes Bend and Kirkseys Bend. The map documents a blend of residential growth and persistent agrarian spaces as they appeared in 2020, preserved across the boundary of Calhoun and Talladega counties.
