2020 Map of Blackwell Bend

About this map

The Alabama River and Cahaba River converge in this section of Dallas County, creating a landscape defined by dramatic meanders and alluvial bars. The settlement of Berlin sits in the southeast, while Mount Nebo occupies the central uplands. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial sites, including Adams Grove Cem, Matthew Cem, and Henry Cem. The terrain is marked by significant river features like Blackwell Bend, Kings Bend, and Hatcher Bluff. Numerous tributaries such as Mush Cr and Steen Cr drain into the river system, which includes prominent navigation points like Turkey Ford Bar and Cade Bar. This survey provides a modern view of the road networks, including Co RD 124 and Co RD 26, as they traverse the wetlands of Cypress Pond.
