1974 Map of Aquilla

About this map

Aquilla sits at the heart of this mid-1970s landscape, positioned near the intersection of several tributary networks. The area is defined by the Alabama-Mississippi state line and the meeting of Choctaw and Washington counties. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Turkey Creek, Sandy Creek, and Red Creek, which dictate the placement of small rural communities and centers of worship. Religious and social life is anchored by numerous country churches, including Kings Chapel, New Rock Church, and Shady Grove Church. Small-scale industry and infrastructure appear in the form of a Sandpit and the Aquilla Lookout Tower, while local landmarks like Lake Gypsy and Lake Ola provide focal points in the woodland. Notable for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Old Aquilla Cemetery and Wilkins Cemetery, which are often difficult to locate in modern contexts.
