About this map

Tibbee Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Town Creek and Spring Creek, define the landscape near the Clay and Lowndes county line. The settlement of Waverly sits near the eastern edge of the survey, positioned north of the expansive Columbus Lake. This area reflects a deep-rooted rural community characterized by numerous localized houses of worship and burial grounds, such as St Johns Ch, Union Chapel, and the Tibbee Cem.

Infrastructure for the region is anchored by the Columbus and Greenville route and a series of established local thoroughfares like West Point Road and Plymouth Road. Industrial and resource activity is evident through scattered gravel pits and the presence of a levee system designed to manage the local waterways. Land ownership and agricultural history are further marked by landmarks like the Windmill and family-named features like Pooles Cem.
