About this map

The Marion and Walthall County line bisects this corner of south-central Mississippi during a period of steady industrial transition. The landscape is defined by the drainage basins of Silver Creek, Indian Creek, and Tenmile Creek, where the timber and agricultural roots of the region meet the infrastructure of the energy and aggregate industries. Evidence of this shift is seen in the numerous Gravel Pits and Gas Wells dotting the hills, alongside major transit corridors like the Illinois Central Gulf railroad.

Social centers for these rural communities are clearly marked, providing excellent detail for researchers. Important local hubs include the settlement of Hamage and the more developed Foxworth, supported by educational institutions such as West Marion Sch and Kokomo Sch. Spiritual and family history is anchored by several country churches, including Little Rock Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and New Hope Ch, which are often accompanied by local burial grounds like Sumbax Cem.
