About this map

Banks serves as a central hub in this section of Pike County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries and winding watercourses. The township structure is clearly marked by t10n r22e and t10n r23e, showing a rural settlement pattern where life historically centered around small communities like Buckhorn, Shiloh, and Pronto. The map records numerous family burial sites, including Brooks Graves, Alexander Cem, and the Old Dothan Cem, which provide significant genealogical data points for the region.

Drainage systems such as Richland Cr and Whitewater Cr dictate the local topography, while smaller ponds like Richardsons Pond and Wilsons Pond dot the agricultural parcels. The presence of Pine Lake and various "branches" like Highsmith Br and Beaver Br illustrate the well-watered nature of these Coastal Plain uplands, supporting a network of county roads that connect these dispersed homesteads and burial grounds.
