About this map

Tallasseebatchee Cr and its tributaries carve through the heart of this Calhoun County landscape, providing the drainage for a region defined by agricultural heritage and educational growth. The expansive campus of Jacksonville State University dominates the eastern portion of the survey, sitting adjacent to the historic core of Jacksonville. This area has long relied on its abundant water sources, from the therapeutic waters of Schenks White Sulphur Springs and Indian Spring to the industrial utility of Leydens Mill.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of data in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Moore Cem, Munger Cem, and Carpenter Cem. The map also documents the transition from rural settlements like Angel and Tredegar to the more developed corridors near Weaver and Anniston. Smaller landmarks like the Edwards Farm Airport and Friendship Baptist Church Cem provide specific points of interest for those tracing the 20th-century development of these Alabama communities.
