About this map

The Pea River and its numerous tributaries, including Spring Cr and Little Indian Cr, carve through this section of the Alabama wiregrass region. The landscape is defined by the high ground of Center Ridge, which separates the river drainage from the eastward-flowing waters of Stinking Cr and Little Cr. This terrain dictated the early settlement patterns of the area, as seen in the cluster of small communities and intersection points that serve the surrounding agricultural land.

Local history is concentrated at several distinct crossroads, including Mount Andrew, Garmon Crossroads, and Greens Crossroads. Genealogical data is preserved at several rural burial sites, such as the Mt Andrew Cem and the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cem. At the southern edge of the sheet, the outskirts of Clayton mark a transition from the rolling interior hills to a more established town center. Cultural markers like the Cooks Ford Bridge and the Shiloh Cem provide evidence of long-standing connectivity and community life within this rural landscape.
