About this map

The confluence of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the Black Warrior River dominates this landscape, where the borders of four Alabama counties—Marengo, Greene, Sumter, and Hale—converge. Demopolis serves as the primary hub, showing a detailed street grid including Floyd Ave and E Pettus St. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small communities like Birdeye, Spocari, and Arcola, many of which grew around river bends and industrial sites.

Local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds such as the Congregation B'nai Jeshurun Cem and New Evening Star Cem. The river's winding path is marked by distinctive features like Twelvemile Bend and Haunted Point Bar, while the presence of Lamberths Mound hints at much earlier inhabitants. Modern infrastructure like the Steam Plant Rd and Power Plant Rd near Kaintuck Chute contrasts with the older settlement patterns found along Birdine Creek.
