About this map

Hinton sits at the center of this rural landscape, positioned where the Mississippi-Alabama state line bisects the deep creek valleys and ridgelines of the Piney Woods. The topography is dominated by the sprawling drainage system of Okatuppa Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Okatuppa Creek and Harvey Branch. Local transportation and community life are grounded along the winding paths of Hinton Road and County Road 20, which crosses the water at Haney Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots near the Antioch Cemetery or within the small communities of Pine Ridge and Shiloh. The map reveals a highly dissected terrain where prominent landmarks like Turkey Pen Ridge dictate the placement of local thoroughfares. To the east, the landscape transitions into the smaller drainages of Cane Creek and Tanyard Branch, illustrating the network of timberlands and rural homesteads that define this border region between Clarke and Choctaw Counties.
