2014 Map of Hybart

About this map

The Alabama River meanders across the border of Wilcox and Monroe counties, carving a distinct landscape of sandbars and islands such as Saint James Bar and Steins Island. The river’s path defines the settlement patterns of this river-lowland region, where communities like Packards Bend and Tinela are situated along its broad reaches. Much of the local geography is defined by watercourses that feed into the main channel, including McCalls Cr, Tallatchee Cr, and the secluded Holly Br. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Tinela Cem and Pine Flat Cem, are tucked away near the small hubs of Asahel and Hybart, providing a window into the rural genealogy of the area. This map details the local road network connecting these hamlets, from Bell Landing Rd to Mt Gilliard Church Rd, illustrating the persistence of small-scale agriculture and timber-land ownership in the vicinity of Claiborne Lake.
