About this map

The Tombigbee River carves a winding path through this corner of Alabama, marking the boundary between Marengo, Choctaw, and Clarke Counties. The landscape is defined by the river’s hydrological features, including numerous shoals and bars such as Barneys Shoals and Cade Bar. These natural river features dictated early navigation and settlement patterns, with historical landings like Slater Landing and Campbell Landing serving as vital touchpoints along the water.

Upland from the river bottoms, small communities and family-named locales dot the terrain. Rock Springs and Cunningham sit among the hills, while the Hatchet Cem provides a genealogical anchor for the region. Significant elevation changes are noted at Campbell Mtn, contrasting with the low-lying wetlands of Big Cypress Pond and Cowans Pond. This map details a rural geography where the river remains the central organizing force for roads like Woods Bluff Rd and Slater Landing Rd.
