About this map

The Tombigbee River forms the western boundary of this territory in Clarke County, defining the local geography through its landings and floodplains. Just east of the river, the settlement of Coffeeville sits as a central hub, supported by a High Sch and several Cem sites. The landscape is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems, including Uleanush Creek, Toland Creek, and Mill Creek, which flow through the timbered hills toward the river valley.

Historically significant landmarks for genealogists include numerous country churches like Jones Chapel, Union Ch, and Friendship Ch that anchor small rural communities such as Center Point. Transportation and industry are evidenced by Folsom Bridge and the presence of a Claypit and Quarry, illustrating a rural economy tied to natural resources. The inclusion of the St Stephens Meridian provides a vital surveying reference point for researchers tracing early land grants and family property lines in this part of Alabama.
