About this map

Pletcher and Adams anchor this rural landscape in the early 1980s, situated at the boundary of Chilton and Autauga counties. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage network where Mulberry Creek and Little Mulberry Creek converge amidst numerous smaller tributaries like Broadhead Creek and Beaver Branch. This provisional survey highlights a transition between wooded hills and localized industry, evidenced by the Clay Pit located north of Pletcher.

Family history and local geography are etched into the land through several unnamed Cemeteries scattered across the township lines. Water features provide key landmarks for researchers, including the tucked-away Lake Pearl and the winding courses of Buck Creek and Gandy Creek. The map documents a quiet period of Central Alabama's interior, showing a pattern of dispersed homesteads and rural roads that follow the ridges of the Crest and the valleys of Twelvemile Creek.
