About this map

The Wolf River winds through the heart of this landscape along the border of Hancock and Harrison counties. Small settlements and crossroads like Dedeaux, Sellers, and Riceville anchor a rural region characterized by timbered reaches and numerous creek drainages, including Crane Creek, Mill Creek, and Sandy Creek. The map provides significant detail for family historians, noting several local burial grounds such as Shaw Cem, Page Cem, and the Wolf River Cem.

Social and community life in the early 1980s is centered around country churches like Bethel Memorial Ch and the First Pentecostal Lighthouse. To the west, the Salmon Scout Reservation sits near Morning Glory Lake, highlighting the area's use for recreation and youth organizations. The presence of a Gravel Pit and various improved roads like Riceville Road and Standard Dedeaux Road suggest a landscape balancing natural riverine environments with local industry and transit.
