About this map

Sulligent and the surrounding borderlands of Lamar Co occupy the eastern portion of this survey, where the Buttahatchee River meanders through wide bottomlands. This 2020 landscape reveals a complex network of rural infrastructure, from the industrial Echoes of Dinky Line Rd to the quiet crossings at Gattman near the Mississippi-Alabama state line. The topography is defined by numerous creek systems, including Turkey Cr and Indian Cr, which feed the river basin.

Local history is deeply etched into the hillsides through numerous small burial grounds such as Wesley Chapel Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Almon Cem. These sites, along with small settlements like Pine Springs and Sipsey Fork, illustrate a persistent pattern of rural habitation. The transition from the higher ground near Oil Tank Rd down to the Gattman Bottom Rd demonstrates the influence of the river valley on local development and transport, including the path of the Sipsey Trl.
