About this map

Caledonia serves as the central hub of this late 20th-century landscape, situated along the Mississippi and Alabama border. The town is surrounded by a dense network of country roads including Old Wolf Road and Caledonia-Vernon Road, which connect numerous local institutions. Small communities and family congregations are evident through landmarks like Bethlehem Ch, Brown Lee Ch, and the Military Chapel Cem in the south.

The Buttahatchee River and its various tributaries, such as Bluff Creek and Running Slough, define the western and northern terrain. This area demonstrates a mix of agricultural land and industrial activity, marked by several Gas Wells and Gravel Pits. Significant topographic features like Flint Wood Hill and the state line crossing between Lowndes County, Mississippi, and Lamar County, Alabama, provide clear reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this border region.
