2024 Map of Gainesville
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Gainesville sits at a strategic bend where the Noxubee River meets the Tombigbee River, a landscape defined by the convergence of major waterways and the modern Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. This 2024 survey captures the intricate river geography of the Sumter and Greene County border, featuring numerous river bars and landings such as Upper Chicken Cock Bar and Whitsetts Old Ford Bar. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Odd Fellows Cem and the Old Cem near Folsom Branch. The map preserves the locations of historical river crossings like Whitsitts Ferry and Gainesville Ferry, illustrating how the community once interacted with the river before modern bridges. South of the main settlement, the land transitions into timber and wetlands, marked by Cypress Swamp and Hill Ranch, reflecting the enduring rural character of this West Alabama region.
