About this map

Okatoma Creek and Hatchapaloo Creek drain this section of the Mississippi piney woods, where a network of county roads connects rural homesteads and agricultural centers. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds and country churches, which serve as primary landmarks for local genealogy and history. Significant sites include the New Home Baptist Church Cem in the northwest and the Pine Grove Baptist Church Cem near the center of the sheet.

Settlement patterns concentrate around Magee in the southwest corner and the smaller community of Upton to the north. This modern survey reflects the enduring importance of family-named landmarks, such as Gregory Cem and Womac Cem, which are interspersed between the many tributaries like Dry Creek and Garner Mill Creek. The boundary between Simpson Co and Smith Co runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating the jurisdictional divide across these creek-fed valleys.
