About this map

The Alabama River anchors this 2020 survey of Dallas County, where the historic Selma city center meets the river's northern banks. The famous Edmund Pettus Bridge spans the water, connecting the city to the Selmont and West Selmont areas. This modern record details a landscape shaped by education and civic history, from Selma University and George Corley Wallace State Community College Selma to the Dallas County Courthouse.

Away from the urban grid, the map documents a series of rural cemeteries and smaller settlements like Valley Grande and Potter. Local history and genealogy researchers will find numerous burial grounds including New Live Oak Cem, Lincoln Cem, and Childers Chapel Cem. Waterways such as Valley Creek and Ocmulgee Creek define the surrounding terrain, while river features like Tight Eye Bar and Valley Creek Bar mark the shifting riverbed south of the city.
