About this map

Demopolis and the surrounding riverlands at the confluence of the Tombigbee River and the Black Warrior River define this 2011 survey. The landscape is deeply tied to the water, featuring a complex network of river landings such as Webbs Landing, Hines Landing, and the Demopolis Inland State Docks. These points of transit, alongside features like the Whitfield Canal, illustrate the enduring importance of river-based commerce and industry to the region.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds across the rural landscape, including Jerusalem Cemetery near the settlement of Arcola, and the Old Green Oak Cemetery. Small communities such as Baptist Hill, Spocari, and Birdeye appear alongside family-named landmarks like Lamberths Mound and McGuilons Bar. The terrain is characterized by numerous river bends and bars, such as Haunted Point Bar and Gadeous Bend, which trace the shifting paths of the local waterways.
