About this map

The Amite and Pike County line bisects this landscape, where the headwaters of the Tickfaw River and its western branch gather from the surrounding hills. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by its complex network of family cemeteries and small rural drainages, such as Easley Branch and Friday Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road network, including the eponymous Terrys Creek Road which winds near the Terrys Creek Cemetery.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Simpson Raborn Cemetery to the Hampton Wall Cemetery, reflecting generations of local family history. The hydrology of the area is equally detailed, tracing the paths of Trinity Creek and Brelund Branch as they feed into the larger creek systems. Centered on the settlement of Terrys Creek, the map serves as a primary source for identifying historic land divisions and the location of Alford Lake.
