About this map

Vance and the rural communities of Belchers, Vernontown, and Moffat anchor this detailed landscape in Bibb County. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the meandering Schultz Creek and its many tributaries like Galloway Branch and Licklog Br. The settlement pattern is largely driven by these drainages and the high ground of Primitive Ridge to the east.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of family and community burial grounds, such as the Charles Wesley Stewart Cem, Daniell Cem, and Friday Cem. These sites, along with landmarks like Williams Spring and Jones Lake, provide a clear picture of the historical footprint of rural Alabama families. The transition from the more developed corridor near West Blocton to the quiet wooded areas surrounding Red Eagle and Lucille highlights the enduring rural character of this region.
