2014 Map of Perote

About this map

Blues Old Stand and Perote anchor this survey of the Alabama Black Belt, where the headwaters of the Pea River and Bogue Chitta Cr carve through the landscape. The map captures a deeply rural portion of Bullock County, transitioning into Barbour and Pike Counties to the south. Small, historic settlements like Smuteye and Jamback are scattered across the terrain, connected by a network of county roads. The presence of several family and community burial grounds, including Old Sellers Cem, Rogers Cem, and Perote Cem, provides a detailed record for genealogical research in this long-settled agricultural region. Notable topographic features like Boot Hill and the winding course of Double Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that have historically influenced settlement and farming in the area.
