Chilton County Maps
This is a very brief description of the some of the boundaries that
affect Chilton County,Al genealogists. Before 1828 everything East of the
Cossa River to the Ga. line was Indian lands but by 1831 St. Clair, Shelby
and Montgomery Counties extended to the Georgia line. By 1832 Alabama started
to show some of the shape it has today with counties across the state that
have changed many times.
I've included X's at (north to south) Jemison,Clanton
and Verbena as reference points.
Maps are from my copy of AniMap Plus, County Boundary Historical Atlas
with permission. I find it very useful. Their site is Gold
Bug Historic Maps & Software
The Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps for Clanton for July 1917,Oct.1928 and Oct. 1928-Mar 1938 are availible online through Alabama libraries.
