About this map

The Tallapoosa River winds through this rural landscape on the border of Cleburne and Randolph counties, anchoring a network of small upland communities. Settlement is defined by historic crossroads such as Foster Crossroad and Fuller Crossroad, where the winding topography dictates a spiderweb of county roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local landmarks like Corinth Cem, Fowler Cem, and the Valley Grove Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's long-standing families.

The presence of Plunkett Mtn and various tributaries like Buckhannon Cr and Ketchepedrakee Creek shape the drainage patterns of the region. Notable infrastructure including the Lee Bridge and a network of historic routes like Old US Hwy 431 demonstrate how transportation evolved to navigate the drainages of Sandy Creek and the river valley. The map documents a snapshot of traditional Alabama Piedmont life, where small clusters like Micaville and Pine Tuckey remain centered on old homesteads and timber-related landmarks like Turpentine Still Br.
