About this map

The Alabama River winds through this section of Clarke County, serving as the primary geographic anchor for a landscape defined by historic landings and riparian commerce. Numerous river access points, including Marshall Gin Landing, Dale Ferry Landing, and Howard Landing, suggest a legacy of river-based transport and regional trade. The terrain is marked by significant features like Marshalls Bluff and several river bars such as Flynn Bar and Shackleford Bar, which historically influenced navigation along this stretch of the waterway.

Energy extraction is evident in the presence of the Barlow Bend Oil Field and the Lovetts Creek Oil Field, pointing to the area's industrial importance beyond agriculture. Local genealogists may find interest in the Linder Cemetery located near James Landing. The creek systems, particularly Lovetts Creek and Randons Creek, create a complex drainage network that feeds into the river, further shaped by infrastructure like the Broughton Dam on Broughton Lake.
