About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders through the heart of this landscape along the Alabama and Mississippi border, defining the local geography as it flows past the settlements of Sulligent and Gattman. This mid-century survey, updated in the 1980s, highlights a rural economy tied to the land and the Burlington Northern railroad corridor. The area is dotted with numerous small family burial grounds and community landmarks, such as Almon Cem, Pickle Cem, and Sandlin Cem.

Religious life is anchored by several local congregations, including Wesley Chapel, Center Point Ch, and Shiloh Ch. The terrain north of the river is characterized by several watercourses like Sipsey Creek and Lost Creek, while several Gravel Pits indicate the presence of local extractive industry. This map serves as an essential resource for tracing the evolution of these border communities and their connecting pipeline and rail infrastructure.
