About this map

The Alabama River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Clarke and Monroe counties, shaping a landscape defined by significant riverine features like Marshalls Bluff and Flynn Bar. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain dominated by an intricate network of waterways, including Marshalls Cr, Hollinger Cr, and Lovetts Creek, which drain into the main river channel. These natural corridors have long influenced local navigation and settlement patterns in this part of southwest Alabama.

Evidence of local history and family legacy is found in the Linder Cem and numerous named roads that traverse the area, such as Barlow Bend Rd and Dales Ferry Rd. Small oxbows and secondary water bodies like Broughton Lake dot the wetlands near the river. The map provides a contemporary view of these traditional rural lands, tracing the intersection of geographic boundaries and long-established local landmarks.
