About this map

Millerville serves as the central hub of this rural Alabama landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes within the southern reaches of the Talladega National Forest. The map reflects a community defined by its dispersed social anchors, notably the numerous small country churches and schoolhouses that dot the valleys between Backbone Mountain and McGehee Mtn. One can trace the local educational history through Graves High Sch and the spiritual life of the area at sites like Mt Tabor Ch, Roseline Ch, and Gutheries Chapel.

The hydrography of the region is dominated by the winding path of Little Hillabee Creek, which supported early local industry such as the Cary Mill. Terrain features like Dugout Mtn and Triplett Mtn emphasize the difficult geography that shaped the settlement patterns of Millerville, where family-named cemeteries like Simmons Cem provide valuable evidence for genealogists researching the Clay County hill country during the late 1960s.
