About this map

Pawticfaw Creek and its many tributaries, including Yazoo Creek and Delphia Creek, carve through this section of Kemper County during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by a network of small rural congregations and family landmarks, such as Beulah Ch and the Hampton Cem. The map reveals a community structured around these local institutions, with New Hope Ch appearing in multiple locations, suggesting the central role of faith and fellowship in the area's social geography.

Industrial and utility markers include a Lookout Tower, a Radio Tower, and several extraction sites like a Sandpit and Pit. Notable family names are preserved through landmarks like Parker and water bodies such as Bruton Pond. The presence of the Church of God and Brown Ridge Ch near the eastern boundary underscores a well-distributed rural population connected by unimproved roads and light-duty trails.
