About this map

The Tombigbee River forms the central spine of this landscape at the Mississippi-Alabama border, dominated by the engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The river is marked by numerous bars and shoals, including Shylock Shoals and Turnipseed Shoals, alongside modern features like Aliceville Lake and the Pickensville Cut Off. Historically significant settlements and small rural communities anchor the upland areas.

In Pickensville, the map records several distinct burial sites including Upper Cem, Lower Cem, and Saint John Cem. To the south, the settlement of Memphis sits near the confluence of Wallace Cr and the river, while the west side is dotted with named points like Aubrey and Ravine. Local history is preserved in names such as the Old Christian Love Cem and Roberson Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogists and researchers tracking family lineages across this borderland.
