About this map

West Blocton and the surrounding Bibb County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Cahaba River and its numerous tributaries, including Little Cahaba River and Sixmile Cr. This area preserves a dense record of early community life through its many burial grounds, ranging from the Italian Catholic Cem in the north to the Six Mile Presbyterian Cem near the settlement of Sixmile. The terrain is marked by significant natural landmarks such as Hargrove Shoals and the sharp turn of the river at Bulldog Bend.

Transport and recreation are evidenced by a network of contemporary paths like the Piper Trail and Loblolly Trail near Kimberly Clark Paper Company Lake, alongside older infrastructure like the Pratt Ferry Bridge. Smaller settlements like Smith Hill, Belle Ellen, Seymour, and Coleanor appear as established clusters, often associated with specific creek drainages such as Big Ugly Cr and Pine Island Cr.
