About this map

Sherwood Forest and the recreational waters of Robinhood Lake represent the mid-century development of eastern Rankin County during the late 1960s. This landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Tumbaloo Creek and Richland Creek, where the terrain begins to rise toward prominent elevations like Coon Hill. The area retains a strong rural character, evidenced by the numerous country churches and family burial grounds that anchor the local community.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of historic sites, from Robinhood Ch in the north to the Steen Cem and Mt Zion Ch in the south. The mapping of the Old Mt Zion Cem and Pearlie Grove Ch provides specific coordinates for family history research. A major utility Pipeline cuts diagonally across the quadrangle, serving as a modern industrial contrast to the older network of dirt roads and creeks like Dabbs Creek and Dry Creek.
