About this map

The Tombigbee River and Luxapalila Creek converge in this southern portion of Columbus, where the landscape transitions from the urban grid to the low-lying wetlands of the Black Prairie region. The historic campus of the Mississippi Univ for Women is a prominent fixture in the northern section of the map, situated near the industrial and commercial corridors of the city. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Sandfield Cem and Saint Matthews Cem, which provide significant touchstones for local genealogy.

South of the city, the river's influence is clear through features like Luxapalila Shoal, West Port Bar, and Butlers Bar. The terrain is punctuated by small settlements and neighborhoods such as Pinehaven and Whitebury, while the Columbus-Lowndes County Airport and Greenlawn Memorial Park occupy the eastern uplands. This map serves as a detailed record of the infrastructure and natural drainage patterns, from the Columbus Cutoff to the winding course of Magowah Cr.
