About this map

The Black-Warrior River carves a winding path through this portion of Greene County, defining a landscape shaped by river navigation and rural transit. Numerous family-named bluffs and bars, such as Browns Bluff, Samples Bluff, and Choctaw Bar, point to the long history of riverine commerce and travel along these banks. The transition from traditional river crossings to modern infrastructure is evident in landmarks like Eutaw Landing and Jennings Ferry Point, juxtaposed with the Oscar Underwood Bridge and the Howard Brown Dam.

Further inland, the map reveals a network of dispersed settlements and burial sites essential for genealogical research. Small communities like Wedgeworth, Gosa, and Evansville are connected by county roads, while several cemeteries, including Jackson Chapel Cemetery and New Christian Cemetery, serve as markers of the area's social history. The presence of the Eutaw Municipal Airport north of the river highlights the area's role in regional aviation, even as it maintains its traditional agricultural character.
