2020 Map of Jemison West

About this map

Jemison and the surrounding Chilton County landscape appear here in a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways, including Mahan Creek, Sixmile Cr, and Mulberry Cr, which partition the land into various community hubs. Small locales like Bessie, Mars Hill, and Poseys Crossroads serve as anchors for the local population, often centered around burial grounds such as Old Mars Cem and the New Mars Hill Cem. To the north, Oak Grove and Kalona sit near the headwaters of Dry Cr and Clear Cr. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the persistence of these traditional place names alongside modern infrastructure like AL Highway 155 and Co RD 42, showing how the early 21st-century rural south maintains its historic community identities through well-preserved landmarks like Pleasant Grove and Hubbard.
