1946 Map of Choctaw Bluff

About this map

The Tombigbee River dominates this mid-century landscape, carving a complex path of oxbows and sloughs through the swampy lowlands of Clarke and Baldwin counties. A notable cultural landmark is the Grave of Red Eagle (Weatherford), marking the final resting place of the Muscogee leader William Weatherford near the river's edge. This area, largely defined by its floodplains and timbered ridges, shows a scatter of rural river settlements and tenant sites such as Harrells Quarters and Austill Pl.
