About this map

The Choctaw Indian Reservation dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant cultural boundary in Newton County. This mid-century survey reveals a rural network of small communities and family landmarks, with Stratton and Sellers serving as localized hubs along the Gulf Mobile and Ohio railroad line. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways, including Conehatta Creek, Turkey Creek, and Dunnagin Creek, which carve through the countryside. Social and spiritual life is anchored by numerous rural congregations such as Beatline Ch and Bethlehem Ch, often accompanied by family or community burial grounds like Hollingsworth Cem. Educational infrastructure is represented by the West Decatur Sch, positioned to serve the outlying farms and timberlands before more modern consolidation.
