About this map

Pintlalla Creek winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Montgomery and Crenshaw counties, anchoring a network of small agricultural settlements and country churches. The rail-oriented economy of the early 1980s is centered on the Seaboard Coast Line corridor, which connects the community of Ada with the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local life is concentrated around crossroads and family landmarks such as Fleta, Glyn Crossroads, and the high ground of Mt Carmel.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of rural congregations and burial sites, including Mose Chapel, Friendship Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch. The mapping of private water bodies like Leisure Lake and Lake Ta-lale suggests a transition toward recreational land use in the late twentieth century, even as traditional rural structures like the Water Tank and various radio towers, including the Radio Tower (WSFA), stand as prominent modern landmarks.
