About this map

Auvergne and its surrounding rural hamlets are defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and sloughs that traverse the lowlands of Jackson County. This 2017 survey shows a landscape heavily managed for agriculture, where the natural wandering of the Cache River is supplemented by man-made channels like Locust Cr Ditch and Cypress Cr Ditch. Small communities such as Johnstown, Remmel, and Erwin serve as nodes in a grid of section roads that provide access to the expansive fields.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including the Johnstown Cemeteries, Leachville Cem, and the uniquely named Sand Hill Cem. Transportation and utility infrastructure are visible through features like the Haigwood Landing Strip and numerous sloughs, such as Mayberry Slough and Overcup Slough, which highlight the importance of water management in this delta-like environment.
