About this map

Talladega National Forest dominates the western landscape of this central Alabama region, where the rugged terrain of the forest meets the alluvial plains of Mulberry Creek. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations along the eastern corridor, anchored by Plantersville and Stanton. This 2002 revision shows a rural landscape defined by its natural resources and spiritual centers, with several gravel pits and a claypit indicating local industry.

Genealogists can trace local roots through several landmarks including Plantersville Grove Church and the New Hope Cemetery. The map captures the intersection of three counties—Chilton, Dallas, and Autauga—revealing how community boundaries like Riderville and Dixie span these political lines. Small watercourses like Harris Branch and Little Oakmulgee Creek drain the timberlands, while a Communication Tower and Athletic Field mark the modern infrastructure of the early 21st century.
