2012 Map of Waverly

About this map

The Tombigbee River and its complex network of tributaries define this landscape at the eastern edge of Clay County, just before the turn of the decade. The area is dominated by the sprawling Columbus Lake and the winding course of Tibbee Cr, which feeds into the river system. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents several small family and community burial grounds including Pooles Cem, Lee Cem, Young Cem, and Pitchlynn Cem near the historic settlement of Waverly. Further inland, the small community of Stephen sits at the junction of Decker Rd and Spring Cr. The land shows a transition from the structured plots of the Barton Ferry Rd corridor to the more water-dominated terrain near Red Bluff, illustrating the persistent influence of the river basin on local settlement and geography.
