2011 Map of Sulligent

About this map

Sulligent and Gattman anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the Alabama and Mississippi state line divides the winding Buttahatchee River valley. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural character and resource-based economy, notably the Wesley Chapel Gas Field in the north and the cluster of residential streets in Sulligent, including Front St and Walnut St. The river and its tributaries, such as Moors Creek, Turkey Creek, and Lost Creek, dictate the geography, while a dense network of country roads connects family settlements and historical landmarks. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many local burial grounds, from the Wesley Chapel Cemetery near the northern boundary to Macedonia Cemetery and Hollis Cemetery further south. The Sulligent Post Office remains a central hub for the community, while smaller hamlets like Pine Springs and Sipsey Fork mark the quiet crossroads of the backcountry.
