About this map

The Alabama River and Cahaba River define the southern and eastern reaches of this landscape, where riverine bars like Mary Taylor Bar and Mitchell Bar shift against the banks of Calhoun Bend. The interior is defined by the drainage of Big Swamp Creek and Tatum Creek, supporting a network of small settlements and family burial grounds that anchor the local history of Dallas County.

Genealogists can trace numerous established sites including Rosehill Cemetery, Parnell Cemetery, and Liberty Cemetery near Whites Bluff. The rail and road corridor connecting Orrville, Hazen, and Beloit serves as the primary axis of travel through the center of the sheet. From the crossing at Hurricane Creek to the banks of the Alabama River, the map captures the rural structure of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century.
