About this map

The rail junction at Kimbrough serves as a focal point for this rural Wilcox County landscape during the late 1970s. Here, the Southern and ST Louis-San Francisco railroads intersect, shaping the movement of timber and goods across the coastal plain. The territory is defined by the winding paths of Turkey Creek and Goose Creek, where several small settlements like Arlington and Anne Manie have established themselves.

Genealogists and local historians can find a wealth of community landmarks, including Epiphany Sch and numerous country churches such as New Queen Ch and Annie Manie Ch. The map also preserves the locations of family-associated burial grounds like Thornhill Cem and Collier Cem. Industrial activity is evident in the scattered Gravel Pits and Claypits, while a Gaging Station on the creek indicates the ongoing management of the region's water resources.
