About this map

Warrior Lake and the meandering Black Warrior River dominate the southern portion of this Alabama landscape, defining the boundary between Greene and Hale Counties. The waterway is characterized by numerous bars and shoals, including Loggans Bar, Brodnax Bar, and Merriweathers Bar, reflecting a complex riverine environment with historical navigation significance. On the eastern banks, Wildmans Island and Colvins Island sit near the settlement of Oak Village.

Away from the river, the interior is dotted with legacy family sites and rural landmarks. Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds such as Salem Cem, Old Salem Cem, and Knoxville Cem near the town of Knoxville. The terrain transitions from river bottoms toward notable heights like Steeles Bluff and Eagle Bluff, while the land is crisscrossed by numerous small drainages like Spencers Cr and Lamb Br that historically shaped local agriculture and movement.
