About this map

The town of Geiger sits at the northern edge of this landscape, situated near the headwaters of Caney Cr and Hatchet Cr. This rural corridor of Sumter County is defined by its complex hydrology, where numerous creeks and family-named lakes like Williams Lake and Liars Lake dot the terrain. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is notably wetland-heavy, featuring New Big Lake, Sibley Pond, and Barns Lake within the Bodka Creek drainage basin.

A network of local roads such as Old Bodka Rd and Dan Mitchell Rd connects the scattered homesteads and timberlands. Near the center of the sheet, Souls Chapel Cem remains a significant genealogical landmark. The map also documents the state boundary between Mississippi and Alabama, tracing the western edge of Kemper and Sumter counties. The interplay of named drainage systems like Shy Hammock Cr and Quilby Cr illustrates a landscape where water movement dictates both the road network and historical land use.
