The Tombigbee River carves a complex, winding path through this wetland landscape, defining the boundary between Washington and Clarke Counties. This riverine environment is characterized by dramatic oxbows and bends, most notably at Horseshoe Bend and Newman Bend. The floodplains are dotted with numerous named backwaters and sloughs, including Ginhouse Lake, Gander Lake, and Green Lake. These water bodies, along with distinctive landmarks like Little Duck Roost and Big Duck Roost, suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal flooding and shifting currents.
