About this map

The unincorporated community of Collins serves as the central point of this Drew County landscape, where the flatlands are defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage. Cutoff Creek meanders north to south, passing the Seven Devils Swamp Dam, while Dry Bayou and Punch Creek carve through the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. The area's settled history is well-documented through several family and community burial grounds, including the Mount Olive Cemetery, Bowden Cemetery, and Solomon Allen Cemetery.

Transport and land management are visible through a dense grid of rural routes such as Selma Collins Rd and Collins Line Rd, which connect scattered homesteads to local water features like Big Lake and Bynum Lake. These features, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Bynum Lake Dam, illustrate the local reliance on water management for the region's rural economy during the early 21st century.
