About this map

The boundary lines of Autauga, Chilton, and Elmore Counties converge in this rural Alabama landscape, where the settlements of Marbury and Wadsworth sit along the winding course of Shoal Cr. The map reveals a dense network of local county roads and trails that connect small communities such as Midway, Mountain Creek, and Lightwood. This area is characterized by numerous family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research into the region's inhabitants.

Several creek systems, including Mortar Cr and West Mountain Creek, carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of early homesteads and road crossings. Significant landmarks like the Marbury Baptist Church Cem and Jo Anna Cem appear alongside newer developments near Pine Flat. The map documents a landscape where traditional southern rural settlements persisted even as transportation corridors like Autauga Co 59 evolved to serve modern needs.
