2011 Map of Heiberger

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the eastern portion of this landscape, crossed by the Walter C Givhan Bridge near the settlement of Jericho. This area of Alabama is defined by its small rural communities and extensive network of named branches and creeks, including Wallace Creek and Taylor Creek, which drain the lowlands around Heiberger. Genealogical interest is found in the local burial grounds like Wooley Cemetery and Bethesda Cemetery, which are scattered among family-named roads such as Troy Perkins Rd and Cliff Osborn Rd. The northern terrain rises toward Cave Mountain, while the southern reaches feature the curious name of Potato Patch Creek. This record of the early 21st century documents the continued importance of river crossings and small crossroad settlements like Ironville and Ellards in maintaining the connectivity of this Perry County interior.
