About this map

The Black Warrior River meanders through the heart of this Hale County landscape, defining a terrain of named bars, bluffs, and islands. Riverside navigation and historical crossings are evident at Childs Ferry Point, Chiles Ferry Bar, and Parhams Landing. The settlement of Knoxville is a focal point in the north, while the southern reach includes the community of Oak Village.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the region, including Spencers Cemetery, Saint Marys Cemetery, and the New Bethany Cemetery. The rural character is reinforced by landmarks like the Cedar Grove Church and unique river features such as Bohannons Cutoff and Wildmans Island. The presence of the Greenetrack facility near McGiffert Cemetery marks the intersection of contemporary commerce with traditional land holdings.
