Almost 90%+ of Adal's most famous towns/burial places are located in Dir Gadabursi territory.
For example:
1. Aw Bube (Aububah) town, named after the great warrior mentioned in Futuh Al Habasha.
This is the map of the area of the town:

2. Aw Barre

3. Queen Kola's Fort (wicked Queen from the pre-Adal era):
P.S Galla (Somali word for pre-Muslim proto Cushitic people, it doesn't refer to Galla i.e Oromos).
Even the British acknowledge this fact:
Periodical reference to the ‘Mysterious Ruined Cities of Somaliland’, citing them as an ‘unsolved riddle of Africa’, haveappeared in books and articles from time to time. The majority of these ruined towns lie in the west of British Somaliland, within the present administrative district of Borama, or across the frontier in the adjacent areas of Ethiopia, roughly half way between the ancient port of Zeila and the walled town of Harar. The Somalis of today can throw no light on their history.
