About this map

The Southern railroad line serves as a central spine for the landscape of eastern Jasper and western Clarke Counties, connecting the town of Pachuta to the settlement of Beatrice. This 1983 provisional survey shows a rural interior defined by a dense network of tributaries including Chicwillasaw Creek, Pachuta Creek, and Souenlouie Creek. The map records a community structure anchored by numerous country churches, such as Mt Jordan Ch, Homewood Ch, and Phalti Ch, which often sit adjacent to small agricultural clearings within the timbered terrain.

Education and local history are marked by the presence of Clark Academy in Pachuta and the Herrington Cem near Orange. The boundary between Jasper Co and Clarke Co bisects the sheet, following a linear survey path that cuts across the winding courses of North Twistwood Creek and South Twistwood Creek. This document captures the traditional settlement patterns of the Piney Woods region before significant modern expansion.
