About this map

The Alabama River carves a winding path along the southern boundary of this region, defining the border between Clarke and Monroe counties. The river landscape is punctuated by sandbars and access points like California Bar, Irvin Bar, and Eureka Landing Rd, which suggest a long history of river-based transit and commerce. Inland, the topography consists of intricate creek systems, including Sizemore Cr, Nixon Cr, and Baileys Cr, which drain the timbered uplands into the river basin.

Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the quadrangle. Gainestown and Barlow Bend serve as local focal points, while Franks Cem and Road Cem provide important reference points for genealogists and local historians. The road network, including Walker Springs Rd and Barlow Bend Rd, follows the natural ridgelines, connecting isolated farmsteads and rural homesites across this corner of Clarke County.
