2024 Map of West Blocton West

About this map

Schultz Creek and its many tributaries, including Licklog Branch and Reed Arm Branch, define the rolling landscape of this rural Bibb County region. Several small communities and named intersections are scattered throughout, from Vernontown and Moffat in the central portion to Lowerytown and Belchers further north. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family-named burial grounds like the Charles-Wesley Stewart Cem, Belchers Cem, and Kinard Cem. Spiritual life is anchored by the Mount Grove Missionary Baptist Church and its adjacent cemetery. In the northeastern corner, the terrain transitions toward Primitive Ridge as the landscape rises above the creek valleys. Many springs, such as Williams Spring and Morris Spring, suggest a long history of local water reliance before modern infrastructure reached these upland settlements.
