2018 Map of Steens

About this map

Steens sits at the heart of this Lowndes County landscape, situated near the winding course of Luxapallila Creek. The area is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Benny Slough, Bonny Slough, and Jamisons Mill Pond, reflecting the low-lying, hydrologically active terrain of the Mississippi-Alabama borderlands. While the northeastern portion of Columbus enters the frame in the southwest, much of the map focuses on rural settlements and local landmarks. Genealogists can find numerous family and community sites, such as Piney Grove Cem, Woodlawn Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The boundary between Lowndes County, Mississippi, and Lamar County, Alabama, runs vertically through the eastern portion of the map, illustrating how local roads like WolFE RD and Military RD serve as connectors across these state and county lines.
