About this map

The Chickasawhay River flows through the southern half of this Clarke County region, anchoring the settlement of Quitman. As the county seat, the town shows a developed street grid and several sites of genealogical interest, including the prominent Quitman Cem and the Confederate Cem further south. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several waterways, notably Archusa Cr and Cedar Cr, which feed into the main river system.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident across the landscape, from the Davis Oil Field and Quitman Oil Field to the northeast, to the sprawling grounds of Clarkco State Park centered around Ivy Lake. Small rural communities like Davis and Chancellor are connected by a network of county roads. Researchers can trace land use patterns through the distribution of numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Little Zion Cem and Sullers Cem, which reflect the area's long-standing rural settlement history.
