About this map

Prairieville and Cedarville anchor this rural Hale County landscape, where the winding course of the Black Warrior River defines the western edge of the quadrangle. The riverfront is marked by several historical access points and river structures, including Lock Five, Drakes Landing, and Tindells Landing, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to river commerce and navigation. Inland, the terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of Big Prairie Creek and Little Prairie Creek, which meander through a patchwork of family-named roads and agricultural lands.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial sites such as Saint Andrews Cemetery, Evening Star Cemetery, and Willis-Scott Cemetery. The map also captures significant community hubs like the Gallion Post Office and the Cedarville Community Hall. Smaller settlements such as Oak Grove and Casemore represent the enduring rural hamlets of this region, while the presence of the Lewis Lawson Dam and M J Fitzgerald Dam highlights the managed water resources essential to the local environment.
