1974 Map of Epes East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Tombigbee River and Lake Demopolis define this riverine landscape at the boundary of Sumter and Greene counties. The river’s winding course is marked by landmarks such as McAlpin Bend, Hillman Ferry, and Lukes Landing, illustrating the historical importance of the waterway for transport and local access. Near the settlement of Epes, the Gorgas Bridge and the Alabama Great Southern railroad line cross the water at Jones Bluff, highlighting the infrastructure required to traverse this low-lying, creek-veined terrain. Smaller settlements like Boligee and Fowler sit further inland, surrounded by numerous country churches and family burial grounds including St Luke Ch Cem, Mt Bethel Cem, and Mt Zion Ch. The mapping of several spoil areas along the river banks suggests the ongoing maintenance of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway during this era.
