2011 Map of Safford

About this map

Bogue Chitto Creek and its many tributaries, including Caine Creek and Bear Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Dallas County landscape. In the early 21st century, the area remains characterized by rural crossroads and small communities such as Safford, Eleanor, and Bogue Chitto. The presence of the Safford Post Office and several family or community burial grounds, such as Martins Station Cemetery and New Hope Cemetery, provides significant data points for local genealogists and historians. The terrain is marked by numerous small water bodies and man-made structures like the McHugh Lake Dam and E Ables Lake Dam. A dense network of county roads, such as Co RD-21 and Co RD-113, connects these disparate settlements, tracing the movement of residents across this agricultural and creek-bisected region.
