About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the western reaches of this Perry County landscape, marking a terrain defined by bottomlands and the eastern boundary of the Talladega National Forest. Small settlements like Sprott and Osborn serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural routes including Co Rd 64 and Co Rd 49. The area around Cleveland Mills shows a pattern of land use where forestry and small-scale agriculture meet the drainages of Camp Branch and Barnett Br.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the ridges and hollows, often bearing family names that indicate long-standing local ties. These include the Dobyne-Haggard Cem, Iveys Chapel Cem, and Barron-Wells Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the natural water systems, from the oxbow-like formations of Middle Lake and Berry Lake to the steady flow of Wells Cr and Waters Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns of this Alabama backcountry.
