2011 Map of Collirene

About this map

Old Town and the settlement of Collirene anchor this rural landscape in central Alabama during the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a community defined by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Town Creek Cemetery, Dunklin Cemetery, Rives Cemetery, Mount Cemetery, and Shiloh Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this portion of Dallas County. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of waterways like Old Town Creek, Mush Creek, and Sullivan Creek, which dictate the winding paths of local thoroughfares such as Collirene Dr and Co Hwy 12. To the south, J R Paul Lake and the J R Paul Lake Dam represent modern water management alongside the traditional agriculture-based layout of the region. The prominence of Mount Baber provides a distinct topographic landmark amidst the numerous branches and creeks that feed the Alabama River watershed.
