2018 Map of Rounsaville

About this map

Rounsaville and the surrounding rural pocket of Greene County sit along the undulating border between Mississippi and Alabama. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where waters flow through Okwakee Cr and Robertson Cr into the wetlands of Martins Swamp. The settlement patterns here are modest, centered around small communities like Walley and Burbank, which are connected by a web of local routes such as Rounsaville Rd and Double Branch Rd. Genealogy is written into the terrain through family-named landmarks and resting places, including Rounsaville Cem and Turner Cem. The map reveals a place where the local economy and daily life follow the contours of the creeks and branches, from the secluded waters of James Anthony Lake to the aptly named Nobodies Cr.
