2010 Map of Erin

About this map

The Erin Post Office serves as the central hub for this portion of Houston County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of branching creeks and named hollows. The settlement patterns follow the winding paths of Wells Creek and its many tributaries, including Musterground Creek and Spring Branch. This landscape is particularly notable for its many family-named cemeteries, such as the Kennedy Cemetery, McMillian Cemetery, and Alsobrook Cemetery, which provide valuable location data for genealogists tracking local lineages. Small residential clusters like Arlington and Brownsville are connected by a web of narrow roads that thread through geographical features like Arlington Ridge and Rocky Hollow. The presence of the Schmid Airport in the north and the numerous named hollows—including Secret Prayer Hollow and Tantrough Hollow—reflect a rural community deeply rooted in its local topography.
