About this map

Scottsville and Johnstown anchor this portion of the Alabama landscape, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of Schultz Creek and its many tributaries. The area is dense with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Scottsville Cem, Belchers Cem, and the Kinard Cem near Lowerytown. These small, scattered settlements such as Vernontown and Moffat indicate a legacy of rural communities tied to the local water sources and timberlands.

Water management is prominent in the eastern section, featuring Bibb County Lake and the Shady Grove Lake Number One and Shady Grove Lake Number Two reservoirs. These features, along with Crystal Lake and Jones Lake, show a transition from purely natural drainage to a managed hydrological landscape. The map also traces significant local transport routes including Truman Aldrich Pky and Al-219, which link these historic hamlets to larger centers like West Blocton.
