About this map

The Alabama River carves the southern boundary of this Dallas County landscape, where the city of Selma meets the rural outskirts. Navigation and river history are evident in features like Tipton Bar and Fish Trap Bar, while the interior terrain is marked by small settlements like Manila, Brantley, and Valley Grande. The area north of the river is a patchwork of small lakes and family-named landmarks, including the J Friday Number 1 Lake and J Friday Number 2 Lake.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the Dubose Family Cem and Home Aid Cem to Saint Luke Cem and the Jerusalem Cem. These rural cemeteries, often associated with small communities like Burnsville and New Everdale, provide essential markers of the area's social history. The map also delineates the boundary with Autauga County as it crosses Mulberry Creek, reflecting the political geography of central Alabama in the early 21st century.
