2014 Map of Gainesville

About this map

Gainesville occupies a strategic position at the confluence of the Noxubee River and the Tombigbee River, serving as a central point in this 2014 survey. The town's grid is preserved through named streets like Yankee St and State St, while its deep community history is anchored by the Odd Fellows Cem and the Old Cem. The landscape is dominated by the modern Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which has reshaped the river bends into features like Gainesville Lake and Demopolis Lake. The presence of numerous river bars and bluffs, such as Whitsitts Old Ford Bar and Cherry Bluff, indicates the long-standing importance of river navigation and crossing points in Sumter County. Further inland, the map details a rural geography marked by scattered family-named ponds and lakes including Buchannon Lake and Norwoods Pond.
