2018 Map of Vida

About this map

Independence and Vida Junction serve as central nodes for the agricultural and rural community of north-central Autauga County in this 2018 survey. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of Swift Cr and Little Mulberry Cr, where the terrain's subtle elevation changes influenced the placement of longstanding family-named cemeteries and crossroads. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of burial grounds such as Golson Cem, Deramus Cem, and Big Springs Cem, often found near local landmarks like Big Spring. The road network, including Autauga Co 40 and Autauga Co 73, connects these scattered settlements, while names like Joffre and Haynes provide a geographic link to the historical post offices and rail stops that once anchored this region's rural economy.
