About this map

The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway dominates the landscape south of Columbus, where heavy infrastructure and local history intersect along the river's path. In the late 1980s, the area reflects a transition from traditional rural settlements to industrial utility, evidenced by extensive Gravel Pits and various disposal areas alongside the Gulf and Mississippi and Frisco Northern rail lines. Historically significant sites like Friendship Cem and Sandfield Cem are documented alongside the community at Yorkville. The map captures a high degree of local detail for genealogists, including numerous rural churches such as Brick Ch and Clairborne Ch, and educational landmarks like the West Lowndes Sch. The confluence of Luxapallila Creek and the river provides a natural boundary for the Luxapallila Creek Recreation Area, balancing the industrial activity of the Columbus-Lowndes County Airport.
