2018 Map of Dancy

About this map

Dancy and Dinsmore anchor the central portion of this survey, which straddles the border between Noxubee and Pickens counties along the Mississippi-Alabama state line. The landscape is defined by the expansive Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the winding Tombigbee River to the east, featuring river-bottom geography like Colemans Shoals, Cedar Creek Bar, and several oxbow-style water bodies including Baldwins Lake and Johnstons Lake. The rural interior is dotted with local landmarks of genealogical significance, notably several small burial grounds such as Cedar Grove Cem, Cluster Cem, and Adams Cem. To the northeast, the settlement of Cochrane provides access to the river via Cochrane Access Area Rd, highlighting the importance of the waterway to the region's transport and recreational infrastructure.
