About this map

Bayou Bartholomew snakes through this landscape, defining the boundaries between Jefferson, Lincoln, and Cleveland Counties. The area's agricultural and rural character is anchored by small settlements like Pinebergen and Griffith Springs, which are connected by a network of local roads and water crossings. The map reveals a high density of rural community centers, particularly churches such as Canaan Ch, Shell Chapel, and Macedonia Ch, often situated alongside local schools like Mt Olive Sch.

The terrain is marked by significant wetlands and water bodies, including Bradshaw Brake and Fish Lake, which drain into the larger bayou system. Land use is a mix of wooded lowlands and cleared fields, punctuated by local industry such as the Gravel Pits in the southern reaches. Genealogists can find several family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Grahams Cem and Williams Cem, providing a window into the mid-century settlement patterns of this river-basin region.
