About this map

Waterloo and Riverton sit along the northern and southern shores of the Tennessee River at a point where the waterway broadens into Pickwick Lake. This landscape is defined by its relationship to the water, with traditional transit points like Waterloo Landing and Shellbank Landing highlighting the historical importance of river commerce. The terrain north of the river is deeply dissected by numerous family-named hollows such as Tanyard Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow, which drain from prominent heights like Pea Ridge and Manbone Ridge.

Genealogists can find significant local history in the cluster of burial grounds, including Richardson Cemetery near the town center and Scott Cemetery to the north. Across the water, Riverton and Eastport mark the transition into Tishomingo County, with Eastport Dock serving as a key facility on the southern bank. The presence of the Second Creek Cabin Area reflects the more recent recreational development of the shoreline in this corner of Alabama and Mississippi.
