2014 Map of Lee Long Bridge

About this map

The Alabama River and the broad waters of the William 'Bill' Dannelly Reservoir dominate this 2014 landscape in Wilcox County. Near the Lee Long Bridge, the river's path is defined by a network of significant waterways including Henderson Lake and the lower reaches of Dixon Creek. The settlement of Midway sits at a crossroads of regional routes like Al-28 and Al-162, which connect the interior timberlands to the river system. Local history is deeply etched into the topography through numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mendenhall Cem, Sand Island Cem, and Bones Hill Cem. A reminder of earlier river crossings persists in the name of Clifton Ferry Rd, while the terrain at Sand Island reflects the shifting silt and sand characteristic of this navigable stretch of the river valley.
