About this map

The Mississippi Alabama state line and the intersection of Wayne, Choctaw, and Washington counties define this rural borderland. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of creek drainages, including Turkey Cr, Red Creek, and Sandy Cr, which carve through the terrain between small upland settlements like Aquilla and Chapel Hill. Local history is anchored by numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Old Aquilla Cem and the North Oak Grove Cem, indicating long-standing settlement patterns in the piney woods.

Industrial and agricultural life is reflected in the named roads that weave through the townships, such as Jones Walker Loop Rd and Palmer Hollinghead Rd. These routes connect dispersed homesteads to water features like Lake Ola and Lake Gypsy. The map serves as a detailed record of land use at the state border, where the rural economy relies on the topography of the Alabama-Mississippi pine belt.
