About this map

The Pea River serves as the winding boundary between Pike and Barbour Counties, anchoring a rural landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and family-named water bodies. The community of Josie sits near the northern edge of this quadrangle, while Enon and Shiloh provide further points of historical local settlement. The terrain is marked by numerous small tributaries such as Mothershed Br, Hurricane Cr, and Buckhorn Cr, alongside larger standing waters like Barbarees Pond and Shipmans Pond.

For genealogists and local historians, the distribution of burial sites provides significant insight into early local family clusters. Sites such as Old Ramah Cem, Enon Cem, and Sardis Cem are scattered across the township lines of T10N and T9N. A notable landmark, Hobdys Bridge, crosses the Pea River in the southeastern quadrant, representing a key historical transit point for the region's agricultural and rural commerce.
