2018 Map of Melvin

About this map

Melvin and the surrounding rural communities of Evansboro and Water Valley anchor this landscape along the Alabama and Mississippi state line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Buckatunna Creek, Okatuppa Creek, and the uniquely named Puss Cuss Creek, which wind through the timbered hills of Choctaw and Clarke Counties. The map reveals a high concentration of local burial grounds and religious sites, such as Zion Chapel Cem and Mount Pisgah Cem, which serve as critical landmarks for genealogical research in these small settlements.
