2018 Map of Howell

About this map

The Escatawpa River defines the central geography of this borderland between George County, Mississippi, and Mobile County, Alabama. Small rural settlements like Latonia, Moffet, and Howell are connected by a network of timber and farm roads, including Agricola Latonia Rd and Howell Tanner Chapel Rd. The landscape is characterized by numerous low-lying wetland features such as Juniper Bay and Deer Bay, which separate the higher pine-timbered ground. Local family names are preserved throughout the survey in features like Howell Bridge and the numerous family burial grounds scattered across the terrain. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of these small cemeteries, including Finch Cem, Moffetville Cem, and Midway Cem, which reflect the generations of families who established these remote rural communities.
