About this map

Adams and Pletcher anchor the landscape of this central Alabama survey, where small rural communities are connected by a web of county roads and highway routes. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Buck Creek and Beaver Branch, which feed into the larger Mulberry Creek and Little Mulberry Creek. This area of Chilton County is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, which serve as primary anchors for local genealogy.

Researchers will find a concentration of local history at sites like Mount Carmel Cemetery and Antioch Cemetery, while the University Highway Cemetery marks the intersection of modern transit and historical land use. To the south, Lake Pearl and Bethel Grove reflect the quiet, dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the region. From Ward Creek to Gandy Creek, the map details a landscape where small-scale agriculture and rural homesteading remain the dominant features.
