2020 Map of Jemison East

About this map

Thorsby and Jemison anchor this Chilton County landscape, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern along the north-south transportation corridor. The map highlights a significant cluster of community landmarks, particularly the Thorsby Scandinavian Cem, which points to the unique ethnic heritage of the area's early settlers. Further south, the community of Lomax transitions toward the northern reaches of Clanton, while the rural surroundings are dotted with family-named burial grounds like Robinson Springs Cem and Hardiman Cem. Water is a defining feature of the local geography, with Turkey Cr and Yellow Leaf Cr carving through the terrain alongside impoundments such as Fountainhead Lake and Bentleys Lake. The presence of several smaller rural centers, including Rocky Mount and Collins Chapel, suggests a resilient network of crossroads communities that have persisted through decades of Alabama's growth.
