2012 Map of Shubuta

About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders through this portion of Clarke County, creating a landscape defined by its waterways and energy resources. In the town of Shubuta, a grid of streets like Chestnut St and Mill St centers around the Shubuta Cem, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with family and community burial grounds including Menasco Cem and Atkinson Cem. The local economy is visibly tied to the land, marked by numerous active petroleum sites such as the Shubuta Oil Field, North Yellow Creek Oil Field, and the Chaparral Oil Field. Settlement patterns follow the river and major roads, with the community of Hiwannee situated near the Hiwannee Lookout Tower. Smaller water features like Eucutta Cr and Silver Lake drain into the primary river basin, illustrating the natural drainage of the Pine Belt region.
