2024 Map of Woods Bluff

About this map

The Tombigbee River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Clarke, Choctaw, and Marengo Counties, defining a landscape of deep bends and riverside landings. This recent survey of the Woods Bluff vicinity captures the persistent geography of the river economy, where historical points like Slaters Landing, Nobles Gin Landing, and McCartys Ferry once linked isolated upland communities to the water. The terrain transitions from the low-lying wetlands of Big Cypress Pond and Cowans Pond to the prominent rise of Campbell Mtn in the southeast. Scattered settlements such as Slater, Putnam, and Failetown are connected by a network of winding roads like Campbell Landing Rd, while the solitary Hatchet Cem near Cunningham provides a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing families in this rural riverine corridor.
