About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the heart of the Talladega National Forest in this central Alabama landscape, marking the boundary between Bibb and Perry counties. The settlement of Harrisburg sits in the northwest, near the alluvial lands of James Bottom, while Abercrombie occupies the northeastern reaches. This map illustrates a transition from river-bottom wetlands to the timbered ridges of the national forest, where a network of forest roads like Fire Tower Rd and Double Branch Rd provides access to the interior.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key burial sites scattered across the townships, including Perkins Cem in the north and Paynes Cem further south. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the small communities of Adler and Levert, positioned near the drainage of Potato Patch Cr and Bonnet Cr. This detailed 2021 study documents the current road network and topographical features of this traditionally rural and forested region.
