2015 Map of Howell

About this map

The Escatawpa River winds through the borderlands between Mississippi and Alabama, defining the geography of this rural 2015 landscape. Small, scattered settlements like Howell and Latonia dot the terrain, linked by timber-country roads such as the Shipman Firetower Rd and Agricola Latonia Rd. The river's influence is evident in the naming of riverfront points like Waters Landing and Dean Landing, as well as the Howell Bridge crossing. Local family and community history is preserved through a high density of small burial grounds, including Moffet Cem, Howell Cem, and Midway Cem. This survey captures the region as a network of creek drainages, such as Red Cr and Flat Cr, which shaped the placement of farms and small hamlets near the state line.
