About this map

Roanoke serves as the primary hub in this eastern Alabama landscape, where the town street grid transitions into a network of rural county roads and crossroads settlements. The eastern boundary is defined by the Alabama Georgia state line, separating Randolph and Heard counties. This 2020 survey documents several established community centers, including Rock Mills, Bacon Level, and Springfield, each tied together by historical routes like Co Rd 87 and Co Rd 30.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Wehadkee Cr and its many tributaries, such as Little Wehadkee Cr and Vineyard Br, cutting through the terrain. Genealogists will find numerous burial grounds of interest, from the Old Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cem to Cedarwood Cem and Booker Hill Cem. The presence of High Shoals Falls and multiple named ponds like Rice Pond and Bartlett Pond highlights the importance of local hydrology to the area's development.
