About this map

The Tombigbee River serves as the dominant geographic feature of this West Alabama landscape, defining the boundary between Clarke and Washington counties. Along its banks, several river-access points like Christmas Landing, Baileys Landing, and Blount Landing indicate a long-standing reliance on the waterway for transportation and local commerce. The interior is characterized by numerous small settlements and family-named landmarks, most notably Tattlersville and Salitpa.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family cemeteries across the quadrangle, including Thornton Cemetery, Jordan Cemetery, and Overstreet Cemetery. The river's meandering path has created distinct landforms such as Horseshoe Lake, Hatchetigbee Lake, and Hazzards Bar. The terrain rises to the Hatchetigbee Hills west of the river, while numerous tributaries like Eberline Mill Creek and Salitpa Creek drain the lowlands, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its hydrological network.
