About this map

Statesville and Mulberry sit within a landscape defined by the winding course of the Alabama River and the numerous sandbars and bluffs that characterize its banks. This 2020 survey documents a transition in the river's character as it meets the R E 'Bob' Woodruff Reservoir, where the water broadens near Jones Bluff. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks and local sites such as Jones Cem and the settlement of Peace, providing clear points of reference for genealogists and local historians.

The hydrology is intricate, with Little Mulberry Cr and Buck Cr feeding into the main channel, which loops through the namesake Durant Bend. Notable river features including Old Hell Bar, Gaston Bar, and Lower Brother Bar highlight the dynamic nature of the riverbed. This map also tracks the local road network, including routes like Red Cross Rd and Cherry Hill Rd, which connect these rural communities across the Autauga and Dallas county line.
