About this map

The community of Pleasant Grove and the small settlement of Horatio anchor this rural landscape in Panola County, defined by a complex network of waterways including Butterbowl Creek, Arkabutla Cr, and the branching forks of Peach Creek. In the early 1980s, this area reflects a deeply rooted community life, evidenced by the high concentration of named churches such as Howard Chapel, Harmonious Ch, and Shiloh Ch scattered throughout the hills.

A gas pipeline and drainage canal cross the terrain, illustrating the modern utility infrastructure overlaid on a traditional agrarian setting. To the south near Ballentine, the landscape transitions toward the flatter bottoms, while the presence of the McClain Landing Strip suggests the importance of light aviation for local agriculture or transport during this era. Traceable landmarks like Kings Corner and several gravel pits further define the local economic and navigational points of interest.
