2011 Map of Dyas

About this map

Dyas Creek and its many tributaries, including Brushy Creek and McCurtin Creek, dominate this rural corner of Alabama. The landscape in the early 21st century is defined by the legacy of local industry and small settlements, most notably at Dyas and Pinchona. Evidence of the area's economic history is found at the Crosby Lumber Company Dam, which created Lake Crosby, while the eastern reaches show the small community of Phillipsville. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Cain Cemetery and Perdido Cemetery. The map also captures a complex web of named rural roads, such as Hollingsworth RD and Robert White RD, which trace family lineages and old property boundaries across the southern pine forests.
