About this map

Confederate Memorial Park anchors the northern landscape of this region, situated where the borders of Chilton, Autauga, and Elmore counties converge. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Shoal Creek and Mortar Creek, which dictate the placement of small communities like Marbury, Wadsworth, and Rollins. The CSX railroad corridor runs northwest to southeast, historically linking these settlements and providing a transport backbone for the local timber and gravel industries, evidenced by a Gravel Pit located near the railway.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural congregations. Small cemeteries like Canaan Cem and Jo Anna Cem are tucked into the hillsides, while churches such as Morning Star Ch and Bethlehem West Ch serve as enduring community hubs. The presence of Pike Road and Rollins Road suggests established routes connecting these rural outposts in the late twentieth century.
