2024 Map of Oak Grove

About this map

The Sucarnoochee River and Pawticfaw Creek drain this wooded corner of Mississippi, defining a landscape of low ridges and stream valleys near the small settlements of Akron and Cullum. The survey highlights a persistent pattern of rural community life, marked by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Bethany Springs Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Center Ridge Cem. The road network is largely comprised of local connectors like DeKalb-Porterville Rd and Townsend-Porterville Rd, which link scattered residences and timber tracts. The presence of roads named for specific families and destinations, such as Jack Sanders Rd and Shady Grove Church Rd, suggests a long-standing social geography where landmarks are tied to the people who settled these townships.
