1982 Map of Brown Town

About this map

Mt Pisgah Ch and the surrounding rural community of Pisgah anchor the western reaches of this landscape, where the border between Alabama and Mississippi crosses through timbered drainage basins. The area is defined by its complex waterway network, including Brushy Creek and Lott Creek, which feed toward the Esca Tawpa River on the eastern edge. Settlement patterns are sparse, with clusters like Brown Town and Davis appearing along the local roads. Evidence of small-scale industry and infrastructure is visible through the presence of a Sandpit and a Lookout Tower, alongside modern pipelines cutting across the terrain. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural landmarks such as Meboba Ch and the Maples Cem, providing a precise record of these community centers in the early 1980s before significant changes in land use.
