About this map

Notasulga serves as the central hub of this East Alabama landscape, where the Western Railway of Alabama cuts a diagonal path through the terrain. The community is characterized by a dense network of country churches and small family settlements, including Liberty City and the area near Lockets Chapel. The geography is defined by the winding course of Sougahatchee Creek and its many tributaries like Cane Creek and Mahone Creek, which historically supported local industry such as the McRitchie Mill in the northeastern corner.

Industrial and natural resources are evident through numerous gravel pits and quarries, alongside the northern fringes of the Tuskegee National Forest. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the map clearly delineates the meeting points of Tallapoosa, Macon, and Lee Counties, providing a detailed look at rural school sites like Notasulga High Sch and several prominent cemeteries such as Bethlehem Cem.
