About this map

The Tombigbee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Sumter, Greene, and Pickens Counties, defining a landscape of deep river bends and alluvial bars. This 2014 survey captures the intricate waterway system where Gainesville Lake meets a series of dramatic loops including Barnes Bend, Cooks Bend, and Wheeler Bend. The river’s historic importance to navigation is evidenced by numerous named shoals and bars, such as Craigs Shoals and China Bluff Bar.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around the village of Warsaw and smaller hamlets like Fair Oaks and New West Greene. For those researching local families, the map is a dense record of rural burial sites, including Jamestown Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and Hargrove Cem. The terrain rises toward Mt Pleasant Hill and China Bluff, overlooking a network of creeks like Fenache Cr and Scuma Cr that feed the river valley.
