2024 Map of Center Hill

About this map

Okatibbee Lake serves as a dominant central landmark in this 2024 landscape on the border of Kemper and Lauderdale Counties. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Okatibbee Creek, Tallachula Creek, and House Creek, which drain the wooded hillsides where family names are etched into the local geography through numerous small settlements and burial grounds. Genealogists can find significant landmarks such as the Chisholm Cem near Klondike, or the Union Baptist Church Cem situated along Frazier Grove Rd. The map illustrates a modern rural infrastructure where established communities like Collinsville and Martin are connected by a web of local routes like Pruitt-Hand Rd and Williamson Rd. This detailed study provides a contemporary view of the region's spiritual and social anchors, including the Pine Grove Baptist Church Cem and the Collinsville Church, preserving the location of local heritage sites in a rapidly changing environment.
