About this map

The small community of Selma anchors this Drew County landscape, surrounded by a network of drainage systems that define its agricultural character. The meandering course of Bayou Bartholomew snakes through the eastern portion of the map, creating distinctive landforms like the Horseshoe Brake. This transition between upland and bottomland is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including the Selma Cemetery and Dishongh Cemetery.

Further south, the Sixteenth Section settlement provides evidence of early land partitioning, supported by local features such as the Sixteen Section Cemetery and Casper Branch. The infrastructure reflects a blend of historic and modern routes, from the namesake Ables Creek Rd to the traces of the Old Military Rd. The presence of Wells Lake Dam and the complex braids of Cutoff Creek highlight the importance of water management in this delta-adjacent region during the early 21st century.
