About this map

The Tombigbee River carves a sweeping path through the southwestern corner of Alabama, serving as the historical boundary between Clarke, Choctaw, and Washington Counties. In the early 1970s, the river landscape remained defined by active waterway points like Christmas Landing, Baileys Landing, and Blount Landing, reflecting the area's deep-rooted connection to the water. The surrounding terrain of the Hatchetigbee Hills is characterized by an intricate network of oxbows and wetlands, notably Hatchetigbee Lake and Horseshoe Lake, which mark former channels of the meandering river.

Small inland settlements such as Tattlersville, Salitpa, and Coffeeville are centers for community life, centered around local landmarks like Union Chapel Union Grove Ch and Mosley Springs Ch Cem. The presence of numerous small churches and family burial grounds, including the Jordan Cem and Overstreet Cem Kanetuche Ch, offers a detailed record of the rural population distribution during this era.
