About this map

The Tombigbee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Sumter, Greene, and Pickens Counties, defining a landscape shaped by water and shifting riverbeds. This 1970s view reveals a rural economy centered on the river and rail, with the St Louis-San Francisco line cutting through the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Several family-named landmarks and rural congregations like Mt Pleasant Ch and Zion Valley Ch anchor the small communities of Warsaw and Jamestown.

The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the sweeping curves of Cooks Bend and Wheeler Bend, and the prominent China Bluff overlooking the river. Industrial activity is evident through various Clay pits and Gravel Pits, while evidence of older infrastructure persists in the Old Railroad Grade. For genealogists, several local burial grounds such as Hargrove Cem and Coleman Cem provide vital links to the families of this riverine region.
