2015 Map of Whynot

About this map

Alamucha sits at the northern end of this survey, where the state line between Mississippi and Alabama divides the rolling pine lands of Lauderdale and Sumter counties. This borderland territory is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Alamuchee Cr and the southerly Yantley Cr. The landscape is etched with historical family names and rural landmarks, many preserved through numerous small burial grounds. Genealogists can find several key sites such as Shamburger Cem, McMurry Cem, and Antioch Cem. The road network, including the E Old Wire Rd and Alamucha-Whynot Rd, reflects a long history of overland travel across the state boundary, connecting scattered homesteads and churches like those found along Bethany Church Loop.
