About this map

Halls Creek and the surrounding drainage basins of Big Richland Creek and Whiteoak Creek define this rural landscape on the border of Houston and Humphreys Counties. The area is characterized by a dense network of named hollows, including Stillhouse Hollow, McIntosh Hollow, and Brister Hollow, which cut through prominent landforms like Chestnut Ridge and Resin Ridge. Small settlements such as Trinity and Union Gap serve as local anchors, while the terrain's history is preserved in dozens of family cemeteries like Averitt Cem, McKeel Cem, and Scurlock Cem.

Transportation throughout these valleys relies on crossings like Collins Ford Bridge and Grice Ford Bridge, linking scattered homesteads across Mooney Hollow and Orchard Hollow. The importance of water sources to the community is evident through named features like Brister Spring, Tanyard Spring, and Knight Spring. This modern survey details the persistent rural character of the region, where numerous named roads and lanes provide access to family-named landmarks and secluded natural features like Rushing Bluff.
