About this map

The Warrior Dam and the expansive waters of Warrior Lake dominate this Greene County landscape, illustrating the controlled flow of the Black Warrior River as it snakes between Greene Co and Hale Co. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and riverine features, including the Cypress Swamp, Dollashide Swamp, and numerous named bars and shoals such as Milkhouse Bar and Halls Shoals. This area reflects a long history of river navigation and rural settlement, with the town of Eutaw positioned near the Eutaw Municipal Airport and the historic crossing at Jennings Ferry Point.

Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded, including New Christian Cem, Sample Cem, and Jackson Chapel Cem. The transport network relies on the Oscar Underwood Bridge and a web of county roads that connect small communities like Darrah, McClure, and Evansville. The map captures the meeting of land and water, where bluffs like Stave Bluff and Choctaw Bluff rise above the river's winding course.
