About this map

Sartinville and Darbun anchor this 1970 landscape, where the rural borders of Walthall, Lawrence, and Marion Counties converge. The settlement pattern is defined by a high density of country churches, including Pine Grove Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and Saints Ch, which served the farming families scattered across the drainages of Magees Creek and Stovall Creek.

Resource extraction and infrastructure are visible through numerous instances of Gravel Pit markings and a significant pipeline corridor crossing the terrain. For genealogists, the map provides specific locations for the Sauls Valley Cem and the Latter Day Saints Ch Cem. This survey was conducted just as aerial photogrammetry was becoming the standard, capturing the network of fence and field lines that shaped these South Mississippi communities before modern consolidation.
