About this map

The Alabama River meanders through the heart of this landscape, defining the boundaries where Dallas, Autauga, and Lowndes Counties meet. The settlement of Benton sits on the southern bank, positioned near the confluence of Old Town Cr and the main river channel. This area is characterized by significant riverine features like Days Bend and the R E 'Bob' Woodruff Reservoir, illustrating the managed waterway system of modern Alabama.

Genealogists and local researchers will find several well-documented burial sites including Robert Rives Cem near Petronia and the Mount Gilead Cem to the east. The map also traces established rural routes such as Beers Rd and Double Church Rd, which connect small communities like Tyler and White Hall across the undulating terrain. Notable water bodies such as B C Rhone Lake and Richard Lake further distinguish the bottomlands.
