1970 Map of Gainesville
USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Gainesville community sits at a critical bend where the Tombigbee River meets the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway on the border of Greene and Sumter counties. This era of the landscape is defined by massive water management projects, including the Gainesville Dam and Gainesville Lock, which transformed the natural flow of the river into Gainesville Lake and Lake Demopolis. Evidence of the area's civil and religious history is visible in landmarks like the Forrest Memorial and local congregations such as St Albans Ch and New Bethel Ch.
