About this map

Baxterville sits at the heart of this coastal plain landscape, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and creek branches. The presence of the Baxterville Oil And Gas Field and numerous pipelines indicates the mid-century industrial importance of the region, while the Old Railroad Grade and a Wagon Track suggest older transportation patterns that predated the modern road network.

Genealogists will find value in the locations of Baxterville Cem and Myrtle Grove Cem, as well as the Pleasant Home Ch. The natural drainage is defined by features like Burnt Reed Brake and the headwaters of Hobolochitto Creek. Modern recreation is represented by the Little Black Creek Water Park, which appears as a later revision to the original survey, highlighting the area's transition toward public land use alongside established extractive industries like the Gravel Pits found near Simmons Springs Branch.
