About this map

Yantley Creek and its many tributaries, including Tanyard Creek and Fuller Branch, carve through the rolling woodlands of this West Alabama landscape. The settlement of Jachin serves as a central point, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as Co Rd 32 and Tinker Rd. The area is defined by its small community clusters and family-named landmarks, reflecting a deep-rooted rural history. Historic burial sites such as Christopher Chapel Cem near Chapel Hill and Morning Star Cem further east provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists tracing the residents of Choctaw County.

Water features dominate the terrain, from the Bogue Chitto in the west to smaller bodies like Donald Hesselman Lake and Hannah Lake. These creeks, including Tuckabum Creek and Mellen Creek, indicate a landscape shaped by drainage patterns that have historically influenced road placement and property boundaries. Other small settlements like Robjohn and Little Walker appear along the secondary road network, connected by routes like Grey Fox Rd and Sunshine Rd.
