About this map

The Tombigbee River meanders through this Sumter County landscape, defining the northern geography with distinctive riverine features like Cold Springs Bar and Buzzard Roost Bluff. Small rural settlements and family landmarks anchor the upland areas, including Brewersville, Zion Hill, and Moore Town. The map reveals a high density of small cemeteries such as Brown Cemetery, Neal Cemetery, and Saint Matthew Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Alabama.

Transportation routes like Sumter 22 and Co Hwy 23 connect these communities, while the presence of the Bluff Port Post Office and Old Bluffport suggests the historical importance of the river as a corridor for communication and commerce. Numerous creeks, including Coatopa Creek and Ponkabia Creek, drain into the Tombigbee, illustrating the intricate hydrography that has shaped local land use and property lines for generations.
