Towns, terrain and land across Bibb County
Start your bearings with Centreville, the county seat, then Brent, Vance, West Blocton, and Woodstock. Crossroads communities such as Active, Antioch, and Brierfield have their own small clusters of lots. Bibb County covers about 622 square miles of land; its 2023 population estimate from the Census Bureau was 21,868. Town lots in Vance give way to farm tracts and woodlots within a mile or two, and the roads toward Centreville are lined with small acreage splits. Public ground such as Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge and Talladega National Forest appears as large unbroken blocks, and the private parcels around them draw hunters and recreation buyers.

If a neighbor's fence near Brent and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
