About this map

Kirk anchors the northeast corner of this West Alabama landscape, where the rural topography is defined by the winding course of the Sipsey River and its numerous tributaries. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the river forms the natural boundary between Pickens and Greene counties, surrounded by extensive wetlands and seasonal bottomlands. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small communities like Pleasant Grove and Pioneer connected by a network of named local routes such as Benevola Rd and Pioneer Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including Liberty Cem, Union Cem, and Mitchell Cem. The hydrography of the region is notably dense, featuring several named branches and creeks including Houten Br, Bear Cr, and Box Cr which drain into the river system. Large water bodies like Longview Lake highlight the area's transition from higher ridges into the river valley.
