About this map

Nettleton sits at the junction of Lee and Monroe counties, serving as a primary settlement point in this agricultural and industrial landscape during the early 1990s. The map illustrates a complex drainage system led by Town Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Shoaf Creek, which carve through the lowlands towards the southeast. A notable feature of the regional economy is the Goodwin Gas Field and several scattered extractive sites such as Claypit and various Gravel Pits.

Tracing the southern edge reveals the significant engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway as it parallels the natural course of the Tombigbee River. For family historians, the sheet is dense with small burial grounds like Hester Cem, Conwill Cem, and Williams Cem, often located near rural congregations such as Union Grove Ch and Central Grove Ch. Evidence of earlier transit remains visible via the Old RR Gr winding through the terrain.
