2011 Map of Epes East

About this map

The Tombigbee River snakes through this Greene County landscape, its course marked by numerous sandbars and landings including Belfast Bar, Millers Bar, and Lukes Landing. The river serves as the primary geographic anchor, with the Gorgas Bridge providing a critical crossing point near the Epes Post Office. Away from the water, the land is dotted with a high density of local burial grounds, suggesting deep-rooted family ties in small settlements like Miller and Fowler. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites to explore, ranging from the Bethsalem Cemetery in the north to the Taylor Cemetery and Mount Pilgrim Cemetery in the south. The eastern portion of the map is characterized by a complex series of private water management features, notably the numerous reservoirs and dams associated with the Drennen and Nab Drennen families, such as Drennen Lake Number 1 and Nab Drennen Lake Number 2.
