2011 Map of Calvert

About this map

Fairford and Malcolm anchor this area of southwestern Alabama, where small communities are defined by the winding drainages of Poll Bayou and Bates Creek. The landscape transition from the higher ground of Coon Hill Ridge and Hurricane Ridge down toward the river bottoms is marked by a network of rural roads such as Sank Town Rd and Sullivan Hollow Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds including Liberty Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and Vaughn Cemetery, many associated with longstanding family settlements. The eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the established corridor of the Malcolm Post Office and Calvert Post Office, while the interior remains more dispersed, punctuated by landmarks like the Fairford Fire Tower and the Bowing Bridge crossing.
