2018 Map of Waverly

About this map

Waverly and the surrounding river bottoms of the Tombigbee River define this part of the Clay and Lowndes County line. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by the meandering courses of Tibbee Creek and Catalpa Creek, which feed into the larger river system and its modern impoundments like Columbus Lake. Genealogists will find several small family or community burial grounds scattered across the landscape, including Pooles Cem, Lee Cem, and Pitchlynn Cem. These small cemeteries are often located near old roads like Old Waverly Rd and Old Hwy 50, tracing the history of the local families who settled along these waterways. The eastern edge of the map features a significant bend in the river near Kennedy Lake and the distinctive Red Bluff, while the western boundary reaches the outskirts of West Point.
