About this map

The Tombigbee River forms a dominant natural boundary along the eastern edge of this Alabama landscape, where the confluence of Double Creek and Cotohaga Creek meets the river's winding path near Turkey Shoals. Small settlements such as Whitfield, Persimmon Grove, and Edna are scattered across the interior, connected by rural routes like Boll Weevil Rd and CCC Rd. The mapping of family and community landmarks, including Black Bluff Cem and Bethlehem Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogical research in this rural corridor.

Industrial and transport history is represented by the S&C RR and the American Can Company Lake, reflecting the region's relationship with timber and commerce. The terrain is defined by riverine features like Black Bluff and Maggs Bluff, alongside the expansive Coffeeville Lake. This contemporary survey preserves the names of small communities such as Oakchia and Indian Springs, offering a clear view of the modern settlement pattern across the Choctaw, Sumter, and Marengo county lines.
