About this map

Tuscolameta Creek and its extensive wetlands dominate this landscape along the border of Scott and Newton Counties. The settlement of Conehatta sits on higher ground to the east, serving as a focal point for a network of local roads such as Tushka Dr and Chickaway Dr. Further south, the community of Hazel is positioned near the headwaters of Warrior Canal, illustrating the importance of water management in this low-lying region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous small family and community burial grounds documented across the area, including Amis Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by natural features like Big Lake and Bollybusha Creek, with a landscape marked by many distinct drainage systems like Box Cr and Hensley Br. The transition from old routes like Old Jackson Rd to modern thoroughfares reflects the long-term settlement patterns of these Mississippi pine woods.
