2002 Map of Sprott

About this map

The Cahaba River winds through the western edge of this landscape, its banks home to the Marion National Fish Hatchery and a series of oxbow features including Round Lake, Middle Lake, and Perry Lake. To the east, the topography transitions into the protected timberlands of the Talladega National Forest, where a network of creek branches like Mill Creek and Stone Creek drain the upland ridges. Local life at the turn of the 21st century remains anchored by rural nodes like Sprott and Cleveland Mills. Genealogists and local historians can trace the foundations of the community through several country churches and school sites, such as Prowell Sch and Iveys Chapel, along with various Gravel Pit operations that speak to the area's geological and extractive utility.
