2015 Map of Brown Town

About this map

Brown Town and the neighboring settlement of Pisgah occupy this landscape along the Mississippi-Alabama border, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent toward the Gulf. The terrain is defined by low ridges such as Mash Fork Ridge and Lott Fork Ridge, which separate the various branches and creeks that feed into the Escatawpa River. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Mount Pisgah Cem and Maples Cem provides specific points of interest for tracing family roots in this corner of Greene and Washington counties. The map reflects a rural environment characterized by a dense network of local roads like Browntown Rd and Brushy Creek Rd, alongside features like Red Nichols Number 2 Lake and Faulk Ditch that illustrate the local management of water and land in the mid-2010s.
