About this map

Bogue Chitto Creek and Bear Creek wind through this Dallas County landscape, defining the drainage patterns of an area marked by small communities and rural cemeteries. The map centers on the transition from the settlement at Eleanor down toward the southern crossroads of Safford. This region is characterized by its agricultural character and extensive wetland systems along Chaney Creek and Caine Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Martins Station Cem near the hamlet of Martin and the Barnes Cem further east. The eastern edge of the map shows the periphery of Orrville, where Orrville Cem and McHugh Lake are prominent landmarks. The network of local routes like Dallas Co 109 connects these historic settlements, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure in the Black Belt region.
