2002 Map of Maplesville West

About this map

Talladega National Forest encompasses much of this landscape along the border of Bibb and Chilton counties. In the early 2000s, the area remained defined by its rural character and the network of creeks that drain the forest, including Oakmulgee Creek and Honeysuckle Creek. Small settlements and family-named locales like Active, Lawley, and Maness dot the high ground between these drainages. Cultural landmarks are frequent in these upland pockets, such as Rehobeth Ch and Pleasant Grove Ch with its adjacent Pleasant Hill Cem. Near the eastern edge, the town of Maplesville sits at a transportation juncture, while deeper in the timber, specialized sites like Maddox Cut Hunter Camp and several Gravel Pits indicate the region's continued reliance on forestry and natural resources. High points like Sand Mountain and Perry Mountain, the latter featuring a Lookout, provide vantage points over the dense pine and hardwood cover.
