About this map

Bethany and Panola sit at the intersection of state lines and parish boundaries, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding tributaries of West Fork Socagee Creek and East Fork Socagee Creek. The 1960s terrain is heavily marked by the presence of numerous small family or community burying grounds, including Jernigan Cem, Mt Zion Cem, and State Line Cem, suggesting a long-established rural settlement pattern along the border.

Educational and spiritual centers like the De Berry Sch, Antioch Ch, and Mission Ch are scattered throughout the countryside, while the infrastructure of the era is evident in the Compressor Station and the network of pipelines. Along the Louisiana side, Lakeland Farm Lake and Boggy Bayou break the wooded terrain, while local transit is traced through Buncombe Road and Johns Gin Road, providing a detailed view of this borderland community's geography.
