2020 Map of Sardis

About this map

Alabama River bottomlands and the aviation legacy of Craig Field define this part of Dallas County. The landscape is a network of small creeks and backwaters, including Sixmile Cr, Soapstone Creek, and Hawthorne Lake, alongside the prominent Tarver Bar on the river’s southern bank. Rural settlements and crossroads like Casey, Sardis, Polk, and Tyler anchor the region, connected by a dense web of county roads such as Old Montgomery Rd and Gibbs Rd. This area is particularly notable for its scattered historic burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Mount Olive Cem, Moore Cem, and Sister Spring Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The mapping of t16n r11e and surrounding townships provides a clear view of how modern transportation corridors have integrated with traditional family-named landmarks and the winding path of Fourmile Cr.
