About this map

The Mississippi-Alabama state line bisects this mid-1970s landscape, where the rural settlement of Hinton serves as a central landmark for the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of Clarke and Choctaw counties. The geography is defined by the dendritic drainage of Okatuppa Creek and its many tributaries, including Turkey Pen Creek and Little Okatuppa Creek. This era reveals a working landscape characterized by resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Gravel Pit and Sandpit.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several important community hubs, such as Antioch Church and its accompanying Antioch Cemetery, alongside Union Church and Union Cemetery near the community of Shiloh. In the southern portion of the map, the Camp Pine Crest grounds and a prominent Radio Tower sit near the winding course of Cedar Creek. The map also traces a major Pipeline corridor cutting across the hilly terrain of Pine Ridge.
