1946 Map of Choctaw Bluff

About this map

The Grave of Red Eagle (Weatherford) sits near the confluence where the Tombigbee River and Alabama River dominate this 1940s Alabama landscape. The region is characterized by a dense network of river-dependent landings and settlements, such as Oven Bluff, Carney Bluff, and Dallas Ldg, reflecting a late-era reliance on these waterways for transport and commerce. Inland, the terrain rises toward Roundtop Hill, where small communities like Rockville and Alma are supported by several country churches and schools, including Christian Valley Sch and Mt Olive Ch. The Southern Railway cuts through the northwest corner near Prestwick, while the bottomlands are a maze of sloughs and lakes like Monger Island and Big Hole Slough, illustrating the seasonal flooding patterns of the deep river basin.
