About this map

Eutaw serves as the focal point of this Greene County landscape, situated where the Southern railroad intersects a complex network of local roads. The town's surrounding territory is defined by the winding course of the Black Warrior River, which forms the border with Hale County. Along its banks, traditional river access points like Finches Ferry and Parhams Landing appear alongside industrial infrastructure including Lock 7 and Lock 8.

Rural life in the early 20th century is mapped through an extensive distribution of neighborhood institutions. Numerous schools, including the Rosenwald Sch and Elizabeth Sch 15, are paired with country churches such as Bethlehem Ch, Jerusalem Ch, and Rising Star Ch. The terrain transitions from the river bottomlands toward higher ground at Johnson Hill and the distinctive riverbank elevations of Choctaw Bluff and Wilson Bluff, illustrating the era's reliance on both rail transport and river navigation.
