About this map

Remlap and its central Remlap Post Office anchor this portrait of north-central Alabama, where the landscape transitions into the steep ridges of Saint Clair Mountain and Bear Mountain. The northeastern portion is dominated by the sprawling waters of Inland Lake, created by the Inland Lake Dam on the Blackburn Fork Little Warrior River. This reservoir, along with Jones Slough and Sawmill Slough, illustrates the mid-century transformation of local waterways into managed utility and recreation sites.

Local heritage is centered around small communities like Clear Springs, marked by the Clear Springs Cemetery, and the valley settlement of Clayton Cove. The map also reveals specialized land uses, from organized retreats at Camp Tekawitha and Camp Utopia to numerous private impoundments such as Lake Pittman and Woodhaven Lake. The presence of Inland Junction suggests a historical intersection of rail and road, while geographic gaps like Tucker Gap and River Gap indicate the traditional passage routes through the area's prominent ridges.
