About this map

The Alabama River winds through the heart of Wilcox County, defining the rural character of this Alabama landscape. The river creates a significant oxbow at Gees Bend, a place known for its deep cultural roots and isolated geography. Along the river's path, distinctive landmarks such as Hurricane Island and Sakti Hata stand out against the wetland terrain. The map is a vital resource for genealogists, documenting numerous burial sites like Pettway Cem, Irby Cem, and Pigeonfield Cem, which are scattered throughout the countryside.

Small settlements such as Millers Ferry and Boykin serve as local anchors, connected by a network of county roads like Millers Ferry Rd and Co Rd 29. The presence of Canton Bend Cem and Old Saint Francis Cem further north suggests the long history of these communities along the river's fertile banks. From the northern reaches near the Dallas Co line to the southern edge by Camden, the map reveals a pattern of habitation closely tied to the water.
