About this map

Gallion and Allenville sit along the northern border of this West Alabama landscape, where the boundary between Marengo and Hale counties divides a terrain defined by slow-moving creeks and scattered wetlands. The area is marked by a network of rural routes such as AL Highway 69 and Allenville Rd, connecting small settlements and private estates. Notable water features including Moss Lake, Spencer Lake Two, and Fields Lake are interspersed with drainages like Powell Cr and Cottonwood Cr, illustrating the hydrology of the Black Belt region.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in sites such as John the Baptist Cem and Allenville Cem, which provide specific points of interest for researchers tracing family lineages in this part of the state. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Gallion toward more secluded drainages like Little Dry Cr and Rocky Br, reflecting a pattern of low-density settlement and agricultural use that has persisted into the modern era.
