About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through the western portion of this Alabama landscape, defining the border between Greene and Sumter counties. The river's winding path creates a series of distinctive features for those studying 21st-century waterways, including Swilleys Bend, Clays Bluff, and several shoals and bars such as Trussel Shoals and Friends Bar. To the east, the settlement of Boligee serves as a local hub near the Boligee Canal and the junction of Us-11.

Family history researchers will find a high concentration of small cemeteries scattered throughout the rural uplands, such as Mt Zion Cem and Macedonia Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy organized around these burial grounds and small settlements like Mount Hebron and Lizzieville, connected by a network of county roads like CR-20 and the local Trustler Ferry Rd, which points to former river crossings.
