About this map

Forkland serves as the primary hub in this West Alabama landscape, situated just north of a sharp bend in the Tombigbee River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creeks, including Taylor Creek and McConnico Creek, which drain the varied topography of Hagan Hill and Burton Hill. This area is notable for its high concentration of small, named settlements and historic family landing sites along the river, such as Durdens Bar and Derder Landing.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Bethlehem Cemetery, Morning Star Cemetery, and Little Zion Cemetery. The map also identifies historic plantations or farmsteads such as Rosemont, Thornhill, and Crestwell Farm, reflecting the agrarian character of Greene County. In the southwest, Tishabee sits near the Knobs Hill, while the Forkland Post Office remains a central point for the local community near the junction of several county highways.
