About this map

Elkton and the surrounding river bottoms of southern Giles County define this landscape along the Alabama border. The Elk River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Richland Creek and Silver Creek. Historically significant river crossings and terrain features are noted, including Sugartree Ford and Ward Bluff, while Beasley Island and Whitfield Island sit within the river's main channel.

The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Documented sites include the Potts Cemetery, Hasting Cemetery, Trotter Cemetery, and the Elliot Cemeteries near the Interstate 65 corridor. Smaller settlements like Liberty are shown alongside local landmarks such as the Elkton Post Office. The road network, including Old Stage Rd and Old Poplar School Rd, reflects the long-standing rural infrastructure of this border region.
