Description
English: Aerial view of Howell Heflin Lock and Dam on the Tombigbee River, which is a part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The lock is located on a straightened and channelized section of the Waterway which bypasses a loop in the river. The associated dam (visible at top center) is actually located nearly two miles away on the original meandering path of the river. The lock and dam are part of the Tennessee-Tombigbee project, constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for barge navigation from the Tennessee River to the Gulf of Mexico. The lock is located in Greene County, Alabama, near the town of Gainesville. The river here is the border between Greene County and Sumter County, and the dam spans the border between the two counties. Howell Heflin Lock is the lowest (farthest downriver) lock on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. View is upriver to the northwest.
