2011 Map of Clopton

About this map

Clopton serves as a primary reference point in this corner of Dale County, Alabama, where the local landscape is defined by its rural crossroads and family-held land. The community of Bertha and the surrounding area are crisscrossed by a network of county highways that connect numerous cemeteries, including Magnolia Cemetery and Mount Carmel Cemetery, which reflect generations of local residency. The West Fork Choctawhatchee River carves through the western portion of the region, spanned by the Monks Mill Bridge, while numerous tributaries like Stuckey Mill Creek and Panther Creek drain the undulating terrain. To the southeast, the G B Blankenship Dam forms Blankenship Pond along Riley Creek, marking a significant human-made modification to the natural drainage patterns of this agricultural and timber-producing region.
