2020 Map of Burnsville

About this map

The Alabama River carves the southern boundary of this Dallas County landscape, where the urban edge of Selma meets the agricultural and marshy lowlands of central Alabama. This survey captures a mix of residential expansion and preserved natural features, including the extensive wetlands of Beech Creek Swamp and Blue Girth Swamp. To the north, the small settlements of Valley Grande, Manila, and Burnsville are connected by a network of rural roads such as Old Stage Rd and Old Burnsville Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across this quadrangle, ranging from the large Fairlawn Memory Gardens near the city to smaller family and community grounds like Dubose Family Cemetery and Saint Luke Cemetery. The river itself remains a defining topographical element, featuring named sandbars like Tipton Bar and the curiously named Fish Trap Bar near the confluence with Mulberry Creek.
