About this map

The Tombigbee River serves as the winding boundary between Choctaw and Marengo counties, shaping a landscape defined by dramatic river bends and extensive creek systems. Near the northern edge, the river creates Pearsons Shoal, while further south it forms the deep loop of Jacksons Bend. The settlement of Putnam is situated in the southeastern portion of the map, serving as a local hub connected by Al-69.

Family history and local heritage are anchored by several cemeteries, including Putnam Cem, Mt Mariah Cem, and the Spencer Cem near the Sucarbow Creek headwaters. The topography is marked by numerous watercourses such as Horse Creek and Turkey Cr, which drain into the main river channel. Transportation is facilitated by a mix of state routes and rural roads like Barneys Upper Rd, while the Butler-Choctaw County Airport provides an aviation link in the northwest corner, illustrating the modern infrastructure within this traditional riverine setting.
