About this map

The Little Tallapoosa River meanders through this portion of eastern Alabama, defining the rural landscape of northern Randolph County near the Cleburne County line. Several small communities and named crossroads, including Newell, Morrison Crossroads, and Lamar, are linked by a network of county roads. The area's social history is recorded through numerous rural burial sites and landmarks, such as Mt Gilead Cem, Antioch Cem, and the Jordan Chapel church and cemetery.

Industry and local commerce are reflected in sites like Butlers Mill on the river, while multiple crossings such as Shelton Bridge and Lamar Bridge facilitate movement across the winding waterways. The map also captures several smaller drainage systems like Cohobadiah Cr and Cane Cr, illustrating the rugged, creek-carved terrain of the region. This survey serves as a modern record of established family-named sites and tiny settlements like Cambridge and Smyrna.
