About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominates this section of the West Alabama river valley, where the border of Sumter, Greene, and Pickens Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the engineered course of the river, which includes Gainesville Lake and numerous oxbow features such as Cooks Bend Cut Off and Warsaw Cut Off. These modern waterways bypass traditional river bends like Wheeler Bend and Cooks Bend, reflecting the 20th-century transformation of the Tombigbee for industrial navigation.

Local history is preserved in the scatter of rural settlements and family cemeteries including Jamestown Cem and Hargrove Cem. The map documents the persistent agricultural and river-based character of Warsaw and New West Greene, connected by a network of county roads such as Co Rd 85. Sandbars and shoals like Craigs Shoals and China Bluff Bar suggest the original river morphology before the creation of the waterway system.
