About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway defines this landscape along the Mississippi and Alabama border in the late 1980s. This survey, updated from earlier aerial photography, captures the region following major hydrological changes, including the Hairston Bend Cut-Off and the formation of Aliceville Lake. The rural character of Lowndes and Pickens counties is preserved through several small communities and country churches, such as Mt Avery Ch and Smith Chapel. Local history is grounded in family and community landmarks like Toliver Cem and Spring Hill Cem. The presence of West Nashville Ferry Road points to an era of river crossing that predated the modern waterway infrastructure. Significant land use is noted through several disposal areas and gravel pits, while numerous creeks like Nash Creek and Coal Fire Creek feed into the transformed river system.
