2017 Map of Dansby

About this map

The Saint Francis River dominates this landscape, winding through a complex network of bayous and sloughs along the border of St. Francis and Lee Counties. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Crowley Ridge to the west, which contrasts sharply with the low-lying wetlands of the eastern alluvial plain. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Linden Cem, Dansby Cem, and Casteel Cem, are scattered across the area, providing critical markers for genealogical research. The settlement of Dansby sits near the southern edge of the quadrangle, connected to the surrounding countryside by a grid of county roads and State Hwy 131. The river's serpentine course has created distinctive landmarks such as Overcup Bend and Sassafrass Bend, while Linden Island stands as a significant landform within the river's path. Local infrastructure includes the Blackfish Cut-off, which manages the water flow through this flood-prone region.
