About this map

Rounsaville sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned where the hills of eastern Mississippi meet the border of Alabama. The geography of the late 1970s is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Okwakee Creek and Green Creek, which drain the timbered uplands into wetlands like Martins Swamp. Evidence of past industry and transport is visible in the Old Railroad Grade that cuts across the terrain, reflecting the area's history of logging or early transit before modern road improvements took hold.

Community life is centered around local institutions such as Rounsaville Ch and Pilgrim Rest Ch, while small clusters like Walley and Burbank anchor the surrounding rural expanse. For those tracing local families, the presence of Burbank Cem and Turner Cem provides specific points of interest. Large water bodies such as Okwakee Lake and James-Anthony Lake stand out as prominent landmarks in a territory otherwise dominated by smaller branches like Hurricane Branch and Boggy Branch.
