1983 Map of Pine

About this map

The boundary between Walthall Co and Washington Parish defines the northern edge of this landscape, where the state line meets the rural communities of Hackley and Thomas. This area is heavily defined by its network of named tributaries, including the West Fork and East Fork of Hays Creek, which feed into Lawrence Creek and Miller Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community connected by family names, seen in the high density of small burial grounds like Magee Cem, Schilling Cem, and Payne Cem. Local life centers on institutions like the Jr High Sch in Thomas and several houses of worship, such as Missionary Ch and Lawrence Creek Ch. This topographic record offers a detailed view of the rural crossroads and drainage systems as they existed before the mid-1980s.
