About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway defines the riverine character of this landscape at the Greene and Sumter County line. The modern waterway bypasses the winding Caney Slough, leaving the site of Old Bluffport and its associated Bluff Port Bar on a quiet bend. This area is rich in family and community history, evidenced by a dense network of small burial grounds such as Saint Matthew Cem, Phares Cem, and Nebo Cem scattered across the hills.

Southward, the settlement of Brewersville sits at the junction of Brewersville Rd and Co Rd 22, surrounded by numerous creeks like Coatopa Cr and Ponkabia Cr. The topography transitions from the alluvial bottomlands of Charleston Swamp to the higher ground of Armstrong Hill, illustrating the classic settlement patterns of the Alabama Black Belt where homes and churches were established away from the flood-prone river margins.
