About this map

Millport serves as the central hub of this West Alabama landscape, situated just north of the Lamar Co Pickens Co line where the Southern railway tracks parallel the broad valley of Luxapallila Creek. The area's mid-century rural character is defined by a dense network of family and community landmarks, including the Holly Grove Sch and numerous country churches like Macedonia Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch.

South of town, the terrain transitions into a more sparsely settled landscape drained by Little Coal Fire Creek and Coal Fire Creek. Smaller settlements like Kennedy and Shaw anchor the edges of the map, while industrial footprints appear in the form of scattered Gravel Pits and a Claypit. The presence of the Oddfellows Cem and Holly Grove Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this part of the state.
