About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this section of Randolph County, defining a landscape of small crossroads communities and rural family landmarks. Small settlements such as Micaville, Cedron, and the curiously named Swagg anchor a network of county roads that replaced older thoroughfares like Old Hwy 431. The mapping of river crossings, including Lee Bridge, Foster Bridge, and the Owen Ford, suggests a long-standing reliance on specific transit points over the water for local commerce and social connection.

Upland features like Plunkett Mountain overlook the various creek systems that feed into the Tallapoosa, including Buckhannon Creek and Pineywood Creek. For those investigating local heritage, the map identifies traditional burial sites like Corinth Cemetery and Fowler Cemetery, alongside established gathering points such as Foster Crossroad and Folsom. This 2011 survey reflects a modern view of a rural Alabama interior that remains deeply tied to its natural hydrology and historic naming conventions.
