About this map

The Sucarnoochee River carves a winding path through this portion of the Black Belt, defining the boundary between Sumter and Marengo counties. The settlement of Coatopa serves as a central point in a landscape marked by its dense network of tributaries, including Coatopa Cr and the extensive Tallyhaly Cr system to the south. The area's history is anchored by Mount Tabor Cem and the river crossing at Rooster Bridge near Moscow.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and industrial layout is visible in the placement of Bellamy and the various landings and river features like Indian Queen Bar. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain transitioning from the lowlands near Mcgregor Lake and Grinlin Lake to the higher elevations of Soctum Hill, offering a comprehensive look at the rural West Alabama geography during this contemporary period.
