1941 Map of Hurley

About this map

The Escatawpa River creates a meandering border between George and Jackson counties in this early 1940s survey of the Mississippi-Alabama state line. The landscape is defined by the heavy drainage of the river bottomlands, where Redoak Swamp and Red Brake Swamp sit alongside distinctive bluff features like Yellow Bluff and White Bluff. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground, anchored by small communities such as Hurley and Seven Hills.
