About this map

The settlement of Whatley lies at the heart of this Clarke County landscape, where the confluence of Bassett Cr and Fishers Cr shapes the local topography. This 2020 record highlights the rural character of the region, featuring several family and community landmarks such as Davis Cem and Whatley Cem. The terrain is defined by a series of narrow watercourses, including Pole Bridge Branch and Pigeon Cr, which weave between the wooded uplands of the t8n r4e and t9n r4e townships.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history detail in the distribution of cemeteries across the countryside, from Hearin Morriss Cem in the south to Salem Cem and Gates Cem in the north. The map also documents the road network connecting Grove Hill with outlying points like Orange Hill and Vashti, tracing routes like Fort Sin Quefield Rd and Indian Ridge Rd that follow the natural contours of the Alabama ridges.
