About this map

Bassfield and Bunker Hill anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Jefferson Davis and Marion counties. The terrain is defined by the branching waters of Greens Creek, Holiday Creek, and Pierce Creek, which carve through a mosaic of timberland and small clearings. Significant 1981 revisions, shown in purple, detail the expansion of residential roads and the proliferation of Gravel Pit operations that dotted the area during this era.

Local genealogy is well-documented through a network of community landmarks, including the Old Bassfield Cem, Hathorn Cem, and Allen Cem. Country churches such as Friendship Ch, Shorts Chapel, and Ebenezer Ch serve as focal points for the scattered settlements. The Greens Creek Lookout Tower stands near the northern edge of the map, overlooking the confluence of the West and East forks, illustrating the region's reliance on forest management and small-scale industry.
