2018 Map of Whatley

About this map

Whatley serves as a central hub for this portion of Clarke County, where rural life is defined by its network of family cemeteries and winding creeks. The landscape is characterized by the drainage basins of Bassett Creek and Pigeon Creek, interspersed with small settlements such as Orange Hill and Vashti. Genealogical value is high throughout the quadrangle, with numerous burial sites including Salem Cem, Gates Cem, and Davis Cem situated near the local road networks. Local history is etched into the names of the thoroughfares, from Fort Sin Quefield Rd to Skipper Raines Rd, tracing the paths of early Alabama residents through the dense terrain between Lake Harrington and the many branches of Pole Bridge Branch.
