About this map

Pooles Crossroad and Clackville anchor the northern reaches of this East Alabama landscape, where the border of Randolph and Chambers counties is defined by a series of high ridges and winding creek beds. The drainage of Chikasanoxee Creek and its many tributaries, including Whatley Creek and Rocky Branch, dictates the placement of early settlements and road networks like AL Highway 77. This area maintains a strong rural character, evidenced by the dispersed collection of family and community landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, such as the Higgins Family Cem and Sharps Cem, which are tucked away near small clusters of homes at Rock Fence and Penton. The presence of numerous small water bodies, including Smith and Norred Lake and High Pine Lake Number 11, reflects a history of local water management and recreation across the rolling terrain south of Roanoke.
