2014 Map of Sardis

About this map

The Alabama River defines the northern reaches of this Dallas County landscape, winding past Tarver Bar as it flows toward the Gulf. This 2014 survey captures a rural Alabama interior marked by agricultural patterns and the enduring footprint of Craig Field, located just south of the Selmont-West Selmont community. To the south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by its watercourses, including the dendritic drainage of Sixmile Cr, Fourmile Cr, and the extensive Soapstone Cr system. Small settlements like Sardis, Tyler, and Polk serve as local hubs connected by a network of county roads and Us-80. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying several rural burial sites such as Shiloh Cem, Mt Olive Cem, and Sister Spring Cem. These landmarks, along with the numerous creek crossings like Lias Cr and Berlin Br, provide a clear picture of the historical and modern navigation of this river-valley region.
