2009 Map of Boswell

About this map

The settlement of Boswell anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, situated just south of Restland Cemetery along the path of Old Hwy 70. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably the winding paths of Muddy Boggy Creek and Clear Boggy Creek, which converge and snake across the central and eastern sections. This drainage system, including tributaries like Mayhew Creek and Tanyard Creek, heavily influenced the placement of local roads and property boundaries. Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial grounds identified across the map, including Pierce Cemetery, Holder Cemetery, and Wade Cemetery, reflecting the scattered settlement patterns typical of this part of Choctaw County. The map details the transition from older routes like Old Hwy 70 to the modern highway system that bypasses the town center.
