About this map

The winding Alabama River dominates this portion of Wilcox County, carving a series of prominent bends and sandbars such as Yellow Jacket Bar and Wilcox Bar. The landscape is defined by the river’s historical importance to navigation and local identity, evidenced by named features like Walnut Bluff and Gullett Bluff. Near the river's edge, the MacMillan Bloedel Incorporated Waste Pond reflects the industrial footprint of the timber and paper economy that has long shaped this region.

Further inland, the settlement patterns of Yellow Bluff and Coy are connected by a network of rural roads such as Jim Brooks Rd and Tates Chapel Rd. For genealogists and local historians, several small family burial grounds are marked across the terrain, including Cook Cem near the northern boundary and McPherson Cem to the southeast. Crossing the water, the Frank Dobson Bridge serves as a critical link, while numerous creeks like Dunns Cr and Black Cr drain the surrounding lowlands.
