About this map

Hackleburg serves as the central hub for this portion of northwest Alabama, where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates local drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bear Creek and its many tributaries, such as Wildcat Br and Dismal Br. This 2020 map documents the enduring network of rural settlements including Duketon, Nix, and Wiginton, alongside numerous family burial grounds like Cochran Family Cem and Edgar Cem.

Historic transit corridors are well-preserved in the labels, most notably the Jackson Military Rd and the crossing at Military Bridge. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from Nix Mill and Prices Bridge to smaller hollows like Green Hollow and Prospect Hollow. The boundary between Franklin and Marion Counties runs through the center of the map, intersecting Bailey Bend as the terrain transitions toward Horseshoe Bend in the southeast.
