About this map

Chewacla Creek and Calebee Creek dominate this central Alabama landscape, which preserves a network of rural settlements and family burial grounds north of Tuskegee. The small community of La Place anchors the southern portion of the sheet near Sweet Gum Cemetery, while Franklin and Clough serve as key crossroads to the north. These dispersed hamlets are connected by a web of local routes like Lower Tuskegee Rd and Mahone Barnett Rd, revealing a landscape where agricultural history and genealogy are deeply intertwined.

Evidence of local land use is seen in water management features such as Lake Carrona Number One and its sister reservoir, while the clearing for Sharpe Field provides a distinct landmark in the northeastern corner. Numerous small churchyards and cemeteries, including Walker Chapel Cemetery and Bradford Chapel Cemetery, are scattered throughout, offering critical points of interest for those tracing family history and local roots in Macon County.
