2011 Map of Burnsville

About this map

The Alabama River flows along the southwestern corner of this Dallas County landscape, where the alluvial terrain is marked by distinctive features like Tipton Bar and Kornegay Bar. The area north of the river is a patchwork of small communities and rural family landmarks, including the settlements of Brantley, Manila, and Burnsville. Transportation in this era is anchored by the Selfield Airport and a network of county roads that connect scattered cemeteries and religious sites. Genealogists will find a wealth of local-history detail in the numerous burial grounds documented here, from the DuBose Family Cemetery and Kelso Cemetery to the New Everdale Cemetery in the east. Water resources are central to the landscape, with various dams such as the J Friday Number 1 Dam creating several small lakes and ponds across the quadrangle.
