2011 Map of Piedmont NW

About this map

Tallasseehatchee Creek and Nances Creek drain this section of Calhoun County, where agricultural lands meet the foothills of Saddler Mountain and Penny Mountain. The landscape is defined by rural settlement patterns at locations like Knightens Crossroads and Estes Crossroads, where local road networks converge. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including Lebanon Cemetery, Pisgah Cemetery, and Littlejohn Cemetery, alongside local landmarks like the Piedmont Springs Church Camp. Modern agricultural operations such as Millers Poultry Farm Number 1 are documented near the eastern border. This 2011 survey also details several small reservoirs including Lake Watson and Lake Hollis, reflecting a reliance on local water management via Rankins Dam and Boozer Dam. The southern portion of the map identifies the small community of Maxwellborn along the railroad corridor, capturing the persistence of historic crossroad identities in this part of Alabama.
