2024 Map of Burnsville

About this map

The Alabama River meanders along the southern edge of this landscape, defining a terrain of river bars and lowlands including Tipton Bar and Fish Trap Bar. Further north, the topography shifts into the wetlands of Blue Girth Swamp and Beech Creek Swamp, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use. This 2024 survey captures the interface between the eastern edge of Selma and its rural surrounds, where modern residential development at Valley Grande meets established settlements like Burnsville, Manila, and Brantley. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Fairlawn Memory Gardens and Elmwood Cem near the city, to smaller family and community grounds such as the DuBose Family Cem and Home Aid Cem.
