About this map

The Tombigbee River and the engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominate this portion of Lowndes County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of cutoffs and sloughs, including the Waverly Cutoff and Stinson Creek Cutoff, which illustrate the modern management of these historic waterways. To the north, the presence of Columbus AFB marks a significant military footprint, while the city of Columbus anchors the southern edge near the confluence of Moore Creek and Luxapalilla Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved among the developing road networks, such as Hopewell Baptist Church Cem and the Sykes Cem. Points of interest like Pitchlynns Ford and Mullens Bluff offer a look at the natural river crossings and overlooks that once served early settlers. The Kansas City Southern Ry cuts through the terrain, connecting the settlement of Wells to the broader regional industrial corridor.
