About this map

Red Bay serves as the primary hub in this borderland survey, situated where the terrain transitions across the Alabama-Mississippi line. The town's infrastructure is well-defined by the Red Bay Post Office and Red Bay Municipal Airport, while the surrounding landscape is marked by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Hillcrest Memorial Gardens and Red Bay Cemetery. To the northwest, the smaller settlements of Golden and New Bethel anchor rural crossroads near Tishomingo County Airport.

Water management and local hydrology are prominent throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by numerous impoundments like Bates Lake and Berry Lake, and their corresponding structures such as Bates Dam and Berry Lake Dam. The drainage network is dense, featuring the North Fork Red Bud Creek, Bear Creek, and Chubby Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller rural sites including Burgess Cemetery, Ridge Cemetery, and Bennett Cemetery, which are scattered among the timbered tracts and agricultural fields.
