2020 Map of Big Creek

About this map

The Yalobusha River basin dominates this Calhoun County landscape, creating a wide alluvial plain known locally as Shipp Bottom in the eastern portion of the survey. Small agricultural settlements like Big Creek and Sabougla are connected by a network of rural roads such as W Main St and Old Gauley Rd. The topography is defined by the numerous tributaries feeding the river system, including Sabougla Creek, Lickup Cr, and Gaines Cr. Family and community history is preserved at sites like Chapel Hill Cem near the northern border and Magness Cem further south. This area reflects a quiet, rural continuity, where traditional land divisions such as T23N R8E persist alongside established townships like Slate Springs at the southeastern edge.
