2011 Map of Detroit

About this map

Sipsey Creek and its many tributaries, including Bluegut Creek and Little Dry Creek, define the landscape of this border region where Alabama meets Mississippi. The town of Detroit serves as a local hub, anchored by the Detroit Post Office and surrounded by the West Detroit Gas Field. This 2011 survey reveals a territory marked by deep ancestral roots, evidenced by numerous family burial grounds scattered across the countryside. From the Rudicell Cemetery in the northeast to the Carter Cemetery near the town center, these sites provide significant touchstones for genealogical research. The presence of Dinky Line Rd suggests historical industrial or light rail activity, while the settlement of Byrd remains a distinct point on the map near Factory Creek. The road network, including State Line Rd SE, follows the natural contours of the drainage basins, illustrating the enduring relationship between the topography and local transport.
