2012 Map of Denham

About this map

Buckatunna Creek winds through the eastern portion of this Wayne County landscape, creating a complex drainage network that includes Turkey Creek and Mill Creek. The settlement of Denham serves as a local focal point in the southeast, while the Winchester Oil Field underscores the area's industrial importance during this era. Rural life is defined by a dense network of family-named roads, such as Jimmy Ramey Road and Henry Walker Road, which connect various homesteads to community landmarks like Philadelphus Cemetery and Eudora Cemetery. The southwestern corner is touched by the Chickasawhay River, while northern waters like Coldwater Creek flow near the community of Tokio. This topography reflects a late 20th-century transition, where traditional timber and creek-side land use exists alongside active petroleum extraction and modern infrastructure like Waynesboro Lake.
