About this map

State Line sits directly at the intersection of the Mississippi and Alabama borders, serving as a focal point for this 2020 survey of Wayne and Greene Counties in Mississippi and Washington County, Alabama. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Escatawpa River and its numerous tributaries, including Savannah Br and Bushy Cr. This area maintains a strong connection to its local heritage through numerous community burial grounds such as Union Cem, Gilley Cem, and Red Bank Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural terrain.

The presence of the Scott Paper Company Pond and Coaker Pond near Yellow Pine points to the region's industrial and land-management history, while smaller settlements like Eret are connected by a network of timber and local roads such as Pine Logging Rd and Bumpy Dirt Rd. The map provides a precise look at how state and county boundaries divide this corner of the Gulf coastal plain, showing the relationship between small-town centers and the surrounding wetlands and creek basins.
