1970 Map of Aliceville South

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Tombigbee River corridor in Pickens County defines this landscape during a period of significant hydraulic transition. The 1980s-era revisions, marked in purple, document the massive scale of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, including the Cochrane Cutoff and the expansion of Gainesville Lake. These engineering projects stand in contrast to the traditional river geography, where the Lubbub Creek and Sipsey River meet the main channel amidst a series of oxbows like Moon Lake and the Dead River. Along the western bank, the settlement of Cochrane and the Cochrane Bridge Gaging Sta serve as key landmarks. Away from the water, the map records rural genealogy through the sites of New Canaan Ch, Providence Ch, and several family burial grounds such as Trantham Cem. The northern edge captures the outskirts of Aliceville, including the George Downer Airport and the Burlington Northern railroad lines.
