2011 Map of Tilden

About this map

Pine Barren Creek winds extensively through the central portion of this Dallas County landscape, eventually meeting the Alabama River along the western edge of the sheet. The settlement of Tilden serves as a local focal point, surrounded by numerous family and community landmarks such as Butler Cemetery and Boykin Cemetery. This area in 2011 maintains a largely rural character, defined by the river’s features like Hurricane Bluff and Saint John Bar, alongside agricultural and forestry access provided by Flatwood Plantation Rd. Water management and local education history are noted through the Choctaw County School Lake and various impoundments like Frank Cothran Dam. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating the Older Hill Cemetery and Society Hill Cemetery near the southern border.
