About this map

Bogue Chitto Creek meanders southward through this rural Alabama landscape, defining the character of the borderlands between Dallas and Perry counties. The area is marked by a series of small settlements and clusters of family-named landmarks that speak to the long-standing agricultural and community history of the region. Localities like Browns, Marshall, and Massillon serve as historical anchors along the roadway, while the northern reaches include the place-name Nave near the county line.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of several rural burial sites, including the New Vernon Cem and Vernon Cem located south of Massillon, and the Bell Cemeteries to the west. The landscape is also dotted with numerous private lakes and creek branches such as Kendricks Br and Mud Creek, reflecting the importance of water management in this agricultural corridor.
