About this map

Silver Creek flows through the western edge of this territory, where the Illinois Central Railroad corridor parallels the local road network. The landscape is heavily marked by small community settlements and genealogical landmarks, including a high concentration of family and church burial grounds. Notable sites such as the Patterson - Garner - Loftin Cem near Whitesand and the Francis Marion Burkett Cem to the south offer specific points of interest for local historians and family researchers.

The terrain is defined by drainage systems like Hooker Hollow and Watts Hollow, which feed into larger water bodies like White Sand Creek and Jaybird Creek. Near the eastern boundary, the Prentiss-Jefferson Davis County Airport stands as a modern landmark adjacent to the town of Prentiss. This modern survey accurately preserves the locations of rural congregations and their associated grounds, such as the Shady Grove Baptist Church Cem and the Progress Church of God in Christ Cem in the community of Progress.
