About this map

The Louisiana-Mississippi Boundary Line defines the northern edge of this rural landscape, where a network of family cemeteries and community centers serves a dispersed population. Small-scale agriculture and timber interests are evident in the numerous branches and creeks that feed into West Fork Pushepatapa Creek and East Fork Pushepatapa Creek. The social fabric of the era is anchored by local institutions like Crains Creek Ch and several rural schools, including State Line Sch and Central Sch.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific family markers across the terrain, from the Kennedy Cem near the state line to the Miley Cem and Sheridan Cem further south. Transportation is dominated by early routes such as the Varnado-Pine Road and various state highways that wind through the drainage basins of Crains Creek and Bogue Luisa, reflecting a period of development before modern arterial expansion.
