2014 Map of Aquilla

About this map

The borderlands of Alabama and Mississippi intersect in this 2014 survey, where the pine-wooded hills of Choctaw and Washington Counties meet Wayne County to the west. Small settlements like Aquilla and Shady Grove serve as local anchors in a landscape defined by an intricate network of creeks and branches. The terrain is deeply incised by Turkey Creek and Red Creek, flowing through a region where family-named roads like Jones Walker Loop Road and Lamar Ramey Drive suggest a long history of local landholding. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial sites, including Old Aquilla Cemetery, Mt Zion Cemetery, and North Oak Grove Cemetery. Small water bodies such as Lake Ola and Lake Gypsy are also noted among the many tributaries like Whiskey Creek and Horseshoe Branch.
