About this map

The Alabama River defines the northern boundary of this Dallas County landscape, where the shifting riverbed is marked by features like Tarver Bar. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a network of waterways including Sixmile Creek, Soapstone Creek, and Fourmile Creek, which drain the lowlands toward the river. The presence of Craig Field and its associated infrastructure near the northwestern corner contrasts with the surrounding rural agricultural and timber land.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community centers and burial grounds. Small settlements such as Sardis, Tyler, and Polk serve as local anchors, each tied to its respective post office or central road junction. A collection of family and community burial sites, including Shiloh Cemetery, Sister Spring Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, and Mount Olive Cemetery, are preserved across the quadrangle, offering a precise record of the area's historical residency patterns and community focal points.
