1982 Map of Brown Town

About this map

The Alabama Mississippi state line bisects this 1982 survey, dividing a landscape of dense creek networks and small timber-country settlements. Brown Town sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by a complex drainage system where Nobodies Creek and Lott Branch flow toward the Escatawpa River. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, recording the Maples Cem and rural congregations such as Mt Pisgah Ch and Mohoba Ch. Industrial and utility infrastructure is evident through the presence of a Sandpit near Pisgah and a network of Pipelines crossing the state boundary. This document captures the transition from high ridge topography down to the river bottoms during the early 1980s, documenting exactly where local roads like Blankenship Road and Beverly Road connected these isolated communities.
