About this map

The community of Frankfort anchors this 2011 survey, situated at a crossroad in northwestern Alabama where local geography is defined by a dense network of creeks and family-named cemeteries. To the south, the Russellville Reservoir is a prominent hydrological feature, fed by the waters of Duncan Creek and controlled by the Elliott Lake Dam. The landscape is a complex drainage basin for numerous streams including Tollison Creek, Cane Creek, and Smith Creek, which carve through the terrain north toward Long Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Burnt Church Cemetery, Malone Cemetery, and Antioch Cemetery, reflecting the multi-generational settlement of the area. Transportation routes like Old Chickasaw Boundary Rd and Hovater Mill Rd hint at the region's historical boundaries and early industry. The map also records small settlements such as Crooked Oak and Jonesboro, alongside agricultural and pastoral landmarks like the Little Israel Christian Ranch.
