About this map

Ohatchee Mountains and Chalybeate Mountain define the topography of this corner of Alabama, where the Alexandria Valley provides a level floor for diverse rural settlements. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through a high density of small cemeteries like Hebron Cemetery and Crooks Cemetery, which often sit near crossroads that have served as community hubs for generations.

Economic life in the area is shaped by water and transit, from the legacy of Reads Mill on Ohatchee Creek to the industrial presence of the Norfolk Southern railroad. The map records a landscape of numerous small dams and impoundments, such as McCullars Lake Number 1 and Kellys Lake, reflecting a long history of local water management. The inclusion of the Crystal Springs Speedway and S D Walker Nursery Farms points to more modern land uses that sit alongside older hamlets like Bethel and Laney.
