About this map

Tilden serves as the central settlement on this modern Alabama survey, situated near the winding border of Dallas Co and Wilcox Co. The landscape is defined by the heavy meanders of the Alabama River to the west, featuring landmarks like Hurricane Bluff and Saint John Bar. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the complex drainage network of Pine Barren Creek and its various tributaries, including Oak Cr and Dotties Cr.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites, from Boykin Cem in the north to the Older Society Hill Cem near the southern edge. The map also documents modern land use and naming conventions, such as Flatwood Plantation Rd and several private or industry-named water bodies like US Steel Lake and Frank Cothran Lake. This terrain exhibits the transition from the fertile river bottoms to the more dissected uplands of the Black Belt region.
