About this map

Harrells serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape, situated where several local routes converge. The settlement’s social fabric is visible through institutions like Harrells Academy and Siloam Ch, while the surrounding geography is defined by the dark waters of the Black River and its intricate tributaries. To the east, Newtons Crossroads marks a smaller junction near several family-named burial grounds.

The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands known as bays, including Gap Bay, Bear Bay, and Kings Bay. These low-lying areas, drained by Wildcat Creek and Bulltail Creek, illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the coastal plain. For researchers, the presence of numerous family cemeteries like Melvin Cem and Peterson Cem, along with landmarks like Iron Mine Burial Park, provides significant detail for tracing local lineage and land use in the early 1980s.
