2014 Map of Palmetto

About this map

Palmetto and the surrounding rural reaches of Pickens County are defined by a complex network of creeks and numerous community burial grounds that anchor the local heritage. Small settlements like Zion and Fairview sit amidst a landscape drained by the winding Lubbub Cr and Wild Goose Cr. The area is remarkably dense with family and community landmarks, including the Unity Grove Cem cluster and the Old Salem Cem. Transportation routes such as Al-17 and Al-159 connect these disparate points, while smaller roads like Bonner Farm Rd and Johnny Boyd Wilkins Rd reveal the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of this Alabama countryside. Near the southern edge, the terrain transitions toward the town of Reform, where the creek systems begin to converge.
