2024 Map of Knoxville

About this map

The Black Warrior River carves a complex course through this Greene County landscape, defining the boundary with Hale County to the south. The river's influence is evident in the numerous bars and shoals, such as Hickmans Bar, Brodnax Bar, and Long Bend Shoal, which reflect the historic navigation challenges of this waterway. The settlement of Knoxville sits in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for a network of country roads like Co Rd 86 and Co Rd 217. Family and community history is deeply rooted here, preserved in numerous burial grounds including Saint Marys Cem, New Bethany Cem, and the McGiffert Cem. Traces of older river-based transit are visible at Chiles Ferry and Childs Ferry Point, marking where travel once relied on local water crossings before modern infrastructure dominated the region.
