2014 Map of Gallion

About this map

Gallion and Allenville sit along the boundary of Hale Co and Marengo Co, marking a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and complex network of watercourses. The 2014 landscape is traversed by Us-80 and Al-69, providing a modern look at a region where historical burial grounds like John the Baptist Cem and Allenville Cem remain important landmarks for genealogical research. Numerous small bodies of water and named tributaries, including Powell Creek Lake Number Eight, Lake Henry, and Cottonwood Cr, illustrate the low-lying drainage patterns characteristic of this part of the Alabama Black Belt.
