2014 Map of Aliceville South

About this map

Tombigbee River navigation and the riverine borderlands of western Alabama define this landscape south of Aliceville. The intricate waterway is marked by a series of historic shoals and bars, such as Hancock Shoals and Summerville Bar, reflecting a time when river pilots carefully navigated around Streets Island and the Summerville Cutoff Bar. The interior is dotted with small rural communities and family burial grounds, including Bridgeville and the Trantham Cem. In the south, the Sipsey River forms the boundary between Pickens and Greene counties. This survey preserves the locations of established landmarks like the George Downer Airport and the settlement of Cochrane near the riverbanks, alongside the low-lying waters of Gainesville Lake.
