1922 Map of Sarepta

About this map

Spring Hill and Cotton Valley anchor the northern and southern ends of this 1920s landscape, which is defined by the winding course of Big Dorcheat Bayou and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a rural society structured around local gathering places, featuring an extensive network of country schools and churches like Old Shongaloo School, Blocker Chapel, and Evergreen School. Movement through the terrain relied on a series of critical crossings over the local waterways, including Sykes Ferry, Dunns Bridge, and Cox Ford, illustrating the connectivity of these communities before modern infrastructure dominated the region.
