About this map

Columbus AFB dominates the southern landscape of this Monroe and Lowndes County borderland, its expansive runways and facilities situated just south of the winding Buttahatchee River. This 2018 survey illustrates a complex network of waterways where the river meets the Tombigbee River system, characterized by numerous man-made channels such as the New Hamilton Cutoff and Barton Ferry Cutoff. These engineering efforts reflect long-standing water management and navigation projects in the region.

Local settlement patterns are centered around the communities of Hamilton and New Hamilton to the north, and Kolola Springs to the southeast. For those researching family history, the map identifies local burial sites including Sardis Cem and Botters Cem. The terrain also features distinctive river bends and clearings, such as Horseshoe Bend and Shell Field, providing a clear view of the rural and military geography of this Mississippi corridor.
