2014 Map of Hinton

About this map

Hinton and the surrounding borderlands of Alabama and Mississippi are defined by a complex drainage network that flows through the woodlands of Choctaw County. The terrain is shaped by the presence of Okatuppa Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Okatuppa Cr and Rattlesnake Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares. Small rural hubs like Pine Ridge and Shiloh are connected by a web of county roads and historic crossings such as Haney Bridge. The high ground of Turkey Pen Ridge rises above the creek beds, providing a clear view of the topographical transition across the state line. Genealogists and local historians can use the placement of Antioch Cem and family-named features like Carmichael Cr to pinpoint ancestral locations in this quiet corner of the South.
