2018 Map of Epes East

About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway defines the western border of Greene County, winding past a series of named sandbars and bluffs that testify to the river's historic navigation challenges. Along this stretch of water, landmarks like Jones Bluff Shoals and Gorgas Bridge near the town of Epes mark the crossing points between Sumter and Greene counties. The landscape is heavily shaped by both natural and man-made hydrology, from the intricate wetlands of Boligee Cr and Gums Pond Slough to the numerous private lakes such as W D Johnston Lake Number 2. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Bethsalem Cem, Saint Luke Cem, and Mount Pilgrim Cem, many associated with small settlements like Miller and Fowler.
