About this map

Luxapallila Creek defines the central topography of this borderland region, where Lowndes County meets the Alabama state line. The settlement of Steens serves as a local focal point, situated near Jamisons Mill Pond and Bonny Slough. To the southwest, the outskirts of Columbus begin to appear, including residential developments like Remunda Estates and Labelle Estates. The landscape is a mix of small watercourses such as Magby Cr and Yellow Creek, interspersed with a network of rural roads that connect family-named landmarks and local sites.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the area, including Woodlawn Cem, Piney Grove Cem, and Tabernacle Cem. These cemeteries, along with Bethel Cem near the eastern boundary and Pleasant Hill Cem near Doyle Estates, provide a clear map of the community’s historical and social hubs. The inclusion of Hopper Field and the Hays Xing landmark further illustrates the intersection of local transport and traditional land use in this part of the Deep South.
