About this map

The Black Warrior River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Greene Co and Hale Co, defining a landscape marked by numerous river features including Whites Island, Cleveland Shoals, and several named bars like Washington Bar and Bohannons Bar. This 2024 survey documents the rural character of the region, anchored by the town of Moundville in the northeast and Akron in the southwest. The distribution of small settlements like Powers, Cypress, Guinea, and Stewart suggests a legacy of agricultural communities connected by a network of county roads.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous community landmarks, particularly a high density of rural cemeteries. Researchers can locate burial grounds such as Springhill Cem, Mileous Chapel Cem, and the Star of Bethlehem Cem. Transport infrastructure is represented by the NS railroad line and the Moundville Airport, while the interior is drained by waterways like Elliotts Creek and Martin Creek.
