2024 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates the terrain of this West Central Alabama survey, where the Cahaba River winds through the northern reaches near Harrisburg. The landscape is a network of small drainage basins, defined by watercourses like Potato Patch Creek, Mill Creek, and Blue Girth Creek. Settlement patterns are sparse and rural, focused around crossroads and family landmarks such as Abercrombie and Levert. For those researching local families, the map identifies several burial sites, including Perkins Cem in the northwest and Mount Gilead Cem near the Bibb and Perry County line. The topography is characterized by intricate hollows and bottoms, most notably James Bottom and Hickory Hollow, illustrating the complex drainage systems that feed into the river valley.
