About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the western edge of this landscape, its path marked by adjacent bodies of water like Round Lake and Perry Lake. This 1980s-era survey highlights the Marion State Fish Hatchery as a significant landmark near the riverbank. Much of the eastern terrain is occupied by the densely wooded Talladega National Forest, which is dissected by a network of small watercourses including Goose Creek, Mill Creek, and Osborn Cr.

Small settlements and industrial sites appear along the local roads, notably Sprott and Cleveland Mills. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a prominent Radiotower suggests the modern utility of the land during this period. For those interested in local genealogy or land use, the map identifies several Cem locations and family-named features like Barnett Branch and Waters Creek, providing a detailed view of Perry County's rural structure.
