About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary bisects this portion of Madison County, marking a significant historical line across the landscape. Near the settlement of Camden, the rural community is centered around several institutions, including the Camden Sch and Murphy Chapel. Further south, the Velma Jackson High Sch serves the region, while the small community of Revive sits near the banks of Mansell Creek.

Evidence of former transportation networks is visible in the north, where the Old Railroad Grade cuts through the terrain near Parker Creek and Shiloh Cem. The area is densely patterned with numerous small country churches such as Mt Mary Ch, Goodhope Ch, and St Lukes Ch, reflecting a deeply established local social fabric. Fine dashed lines across the sheet indicate fence and field boundaries as they existed when aerial photographs were captured in 1960.
