Tombigbee River
This river begins in northeastern Mississippi. It enters Alabama in Pickens County
and flows into the Black Warrior River. The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway linked
the Tennessee River and the Tombigbee River, making it the longest river
system (not river), in the state. "Etomba ikibee" means "coffin maker" in Choctaw.
Legend is that an Indian coffin maker lived near this river.. Information
