1943 Map of Deer Park

About this map

The Escatawpa River winds southward through the center of this 1942 survey, defining a landscape of piney woods and creek bottoms along the Alabama and Mississippi border. Small settlements and industrial camps are scattered across the terrain, connected by the Mississippi and Alabama RR which cuts through the northeastern corner near Deer Park. The presence of Stalworth Camp and Turners Store suggests a rural economy tied to timber and local trade during the early war years.
