About this map

The Black Warrior River dictates the landscape of this region along the border of Greene and Hale counties, winding through a series of dramatic bends and bluffs. The river’s historical importance as a transit corridor is evident in the presence of Finches Ferry and Jennings Ferry, alongside numerous sandbars and shoals such as Milkhouse Bar and Halls Shoals. This modern 2024 survey captures the persistence of traditional land names, from Standing Cypress Point to the expansive Dollarhide Swamp in the southwest corner.

Upland from the river, small settlements like Gosa, McClure, and Evansville are connected by a network of rural roads. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, including New Christian Cem and Jackson Chapel Cem. Near the town of Eutaw, the Eutaw Municipal Airport serves as a modern landmark in an area otherwise defined by its intricate system of creeks and wetlands, including Big Brush Creek and Crenshaw Pond.
