About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominates the central corridor of this landscape, cutting a wide path through Monroe County and Itawamba County. This 1990s revision reveals the significant industrial and navigational infrastructure of the era, including Lock A, Lock B, and the Four Mile Creek Gas Field. The waterway's presence provides a stark contrast to the original winding course of the Tombigbee River, which meanders nearby along Standifer Island.

Local history is preserved through scattered rural landmarks like New Chapel Ch and Conwill Cem near the community of Carolina. Near the town of Smithville, the map identifies several Gravel Pits and the Indian Reservation Boundary running south of the Four Mile Creek Gas Field. These details provide a clear view of the region's 20th-century evolution from traditional agriculture and small settlements like Burketts to a modern engineered river system.
