About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders across the southern landscape of this borderland survey, marking the transition between the rolling uplands of Lamar County, Alabama, and the low-lying plains of Mississippi. The town of Sulligent serves as the regional hub, situated near the intersection of Us-278 and Al-17. The map reveals a dense network of family-centered landmarks, particularly cemeteries that anchor the local genealogy, such as Macedonia Cem and Hollis Cem.

To the west, the village of Gattman sits directly on the state line, where Watson Cr and Bogue Cr converge near the rail corridor. Smaller communities like Pine Springs and Sipsey Fork are connected by a web of rural routes including Sipsey Fork RD and Mormon Hollow RD. The drainage patterns of Lost Cr, Indian Cr, and Pine Springs Cr define the varied topography, illustrating how early settlement and transport followed these natural watercourses through the timber and farm country.
