About this map

Mulberry Creek and its many tributaries, including Boggles Creek and Ward Creek, define the landscape of this portion of Chilton County. Small settlements are concentrated along the primary north-south transit corridor, with Stanton and Dixie situated in the north, leading down toward Riderville and the larger center at Plantersville. The distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Valley Creek Cemetery and Spring Hill Cemetery, suggests a deeply rooted rural society tied to the land and its waterways.

Industrial and civil engineering features appear in the form of the Pickering Lake Dam and the Corley Jones Bridge, which spans the local drainage network. Further west, the terrain transitions into the watershed of Little Oakmulgee Creek, where smaller branches like Price Branch and Martin Creek feed into the river system. The presence of numerous dispersed burial sites, including New Hope Cemetery and Plantersville Cemetery, provides a map of historical settlement patterns across this Alabama interior.
