About this map

The Chickasawhay River winds along the western edge of Quitman, marking the landscape where local industry and history converge. This survey detail reveals the town's structural layout and its connection to the surrounding Clarke County terrain, from the Clarke County Airport to the east-flowing Cedar Creek. Genealogy and local heritage are deeply etched into the land, evidenced by the numerous burial sites such as the Confederate Cemetery and Quitman Cemetery, reflecting generations of community life.

North of the main settlement, Archusa Springs and Ivy Lake represent the area's natural water resources, while the small community of Davis sits to the east. The map tracks a network of rural roads, including Co Road 140 and Co Road 440, which link isolated homesteads and local landmarks like Cooper Chapel Cemetery. These features document a traditional Mississippi landscape where river navigation, agriculture, and small-town development are closely intertwined.
