About this map

Gainesville Lake dominates the central corridor of this Sumter County landscape, its meandering course defined by numerous named bars and bends such as Barnes Gin Bar and Wheeler Bend. The settlement of Warsaw sits at a strategic point along the western bank, while New West Greene is positioned to the east. This river-focused geography is shaped by the confluence of major waterways, including the Noxubee River and Fenache Creek, which drain into the main valley.

Local family history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Researchers can locate the Jamestown Cemetery near the river, or explore the eastern uplands to find the Mobley Cemetery, Hutton Cemetery, and Coleman Cemetery. Infrastructure such as the Robert Weir Dam and Jim Henderson Dam further illustrate the management of the region's water resources during the early twenty-first century.
