About this map

Tallasseehatchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Rabes Branch and Sulphur Springs Creek, dominate the drainage of this Calhoun County landscape. The settlement pattern is defined by the larger hubs of Jacksonville, Alexandria, and Weaver, while smaller communities like Angel and Tredegar maintain their rural character. This modern survey illustrates the enduring presence of local landmarks such as Leydens Mill and the expansive campus of Jacksonville State University.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Jacksonville City Cem to smaller family and church sites like Carpenter Cem and Moore Cem. The land use shows a mix of residential expansion near the city centers and established agriculture in the Alexandria Valley. Water sources such as Seven Springs, Indian Spring, and Tolbert Springs remain key features of the terrain, alongside smaller impoundments like Policemen Lake and Hamiltons Lake.
