2011 Map of Dancy

About this map

Dancy and Cochrane serve as the primary points of settlement along this stretch of the Alabama-Mississippi borderland, where the Tombigbee River meanders through a landscape defined by its riparian bars and shoals. Features like Colemans Shoals and Bogue Chitto Creek Bar illustrate the river's historical navigation challenges, while the inland terrain opens into the Foxtrap Prairie. The map documents a significant network of local water management, evidenced by numerous named impoundments such as Kimbrells Lake South and Johnstons Lake, held by the Kimbrell Number 1 Dam and Johnstons Dam. Rural community life is anchored by family and congregational landmarks, including Hebron Church and its adjacent Hebron Church Cemetery, along with the Cluster Cemetery and Adams Cemetery, providing essential data for regional genealogical research.
