About this map

The Tombigbee River and the engineered Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominate the landscape of the Alabama-Mississippi borderlands, winding through a complex of bars and shoals. This low-lying riverine environment is defined by its seasonal hydrology, where features like Dead River and Big Slough branch off from the main channel near Summerville Bar and Vienna Bar. The human footprint is most evident in established settlements like Aliceville and Vienna, which sit elevated above the floodplain.

Local family history is well-preserved across the quadrangle, with numerous small burial grounds such as Fowler Cem, Gardner Cem, and the William Williams-Vienna Cem scattered near the Sipsey River. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the George Downer Airport and crossings like Huyck Bridge, while the boundary between Pickens and Greene Counties follows the natural curve of the waterways south of Ridge.
