About this map

Ackerman serves as the central hub of this Choctaw County landscape, where the local street grid meets the passage of the Yockanookany River and the high ground of Blantons Gap. The map details a transition from the structured residential and commercial center of town to the more dispersed settlements of Fentress, Tollison, and Chester. To the southeast, the terrain shifts into the protected timberlands of the Tombigbee National Forest, anchored by the recreational waters of Choctaw Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Bethlehem Cem and Fentress Cem, marking the long-standing family communities of the area. The landscape is defined by its water systems, from the Noxubee River in the east to the winding courses of Besa Chitto Cr and Bogue Fallah, which shaped the early agricultural and transport routes across these hills.
