About this map

Hector serves as the primary hub in this rural Pope County landscape, where the terrain transitions from the heights of Oak Mountain and White Oak Mountain toward the winding drainage of Anderson Creek and Illinois Bayou. The 2011 geography is defined by a series of significant water management projects, most notably the West Fork Point Remove Creek Site Nine Reservoir and its associated West Fork Point Remove Creek Site Nine Dam, which shaped the local hydrology by the early 21st century.

Smaller historic settlements like Appleton, Caglesville, and Buttermilk are interconnected by a network of local roads such as Yellow Rock Ln and Tate Cemetery Rd. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies numerous burial grounds including Crossroads Cemetery, Kinslow Cemetery, and the Campground Cemetery near Gunter Mountain. The inclusion of the Peterman Lookout Tower near the northern boundary provides a specific landmark of the forest management infrastructure used during this era.
