Waterloo sits at the northern edge of the Tennessee River where the borders of Alabama and Mississippi meet. This 2014 survey captures a landscape defined by the expansive Pickwick Lake and a complex network of narrow hollows and ridges. To the south, the settlements of Eastport and Riverton anchor the riverside, separated by the winding Bear Creek. The map provides significant genealogical value through several family-named burial sites, including Scott Cem, Mt Hebron Cem, Watkins Cem, and Richardson Cem. These locations, combined with landmarks like Colbert Shoals and Barnett Mill Hollow, reveal the long-standing agricultural and milling history of this river valley. The topography is exceptionally detailed, showing the numerous drainages such as Bumpass Cr and Second Creek that carve through the local heights of Pea Ridge and Manbone Ridge.
