About this map

The town of Lineville serves as the western anchor for this 1970 landscape, where the rural topography of east-central Alabama meets the Clay Co Randolph Co boundary. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad creates a distinct corridor through the hills, connecting the larger settlement of Lineville to the smaller community of Cragford in the southeast. This survey reflects a deeply established rural social fabric, evidenced by the high density of country churches and family burial grounds scattered throughout the creek valleys.

Several waterways, including Mad Indian Creek, Fox Creek, and Crooked Creek, carve through the terrain, with many local landmarks and settlements positioned along their banks. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of places like Old Pleasant Grove Cem and Colemans Chapel, which appear alongside industrial and infrastructure markers such as a Gravel Pit, a Radio Tower, and the electrical Substation near the Randolph County line.
