About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad carves a path through the rolling rural landscape of the Montgomery and Crenshaw County border, connecting small agricultural centers during the early 1980s. This survey documents the persistent settlement patterns of central Alabama, where communities like Fleta, Sellers, and Ada are anchored by local landmarks such as Friendship Ch and Mose Chapel. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Pintlalla Creek and numerous small water bodies including Lake Tal-lale and Leisure Lake, which support the region's long-standing connection to the land.

Local navigation relies on an established network of named routes, from Buttermilk Road to Hickory Grove Road, reflecting the area's rural character. For those tracing local history, the placement of the Bell Cem and various unnamed cemeteries provide specific points of reference within these traditional farming communities. The presence of multiple radio towers and water tanks alongside established settlements like Naftel and Bethlehem indicates a landscape in a slow transition between historic rural life and modern utility.
