1982 Map of Howell

About this map

The Es Catawpa River winds through this borderland region, defining the landscape between George County, Mississippi, and Mobile County, Alabama. During the early 1980s, this area maintained a rural character shaped by a network of local roads such as Moody Loop Rd and Ferry Road. The settlement of Howell serves as a central point near the Howell Bridge, while the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line cuts through the northern reaches near Latonia and Moffet. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the numerous documented burial sites, including the Moffetville Cem and Ward Cem, alongside local congregations like Palestine Ch and Midway Ch. The presence of several sandpits and the Natchez Trace roadbed further illustrate the local industry and historical transportation routes of the deep South during this era.
