The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and the winding Tombigbee River define the boundary between Greene and Sumter counties, creating a landscape shaped by river transport and floodplain deposits. The geography is marked by numerous river features including Hayes Bar, Santos Bar, and Belfast Bar, alongside high points like McAlpine Bluff and Jones Bluff. This modern record of the corridor preserves the locations of vital historical river crossings like Martans Ferry, McAlpines Ferry, and Hillman Ferry, illustrating how the waterway remained a primary conduit for movement long after the establishment of settlements like Boligee and Epes.
