About this map

Saukum and the settlement of Wilkinson are situated among the winding drainages of the Buffalo River and Little Buffalo River in this detailed quadrangle. The landscape is defined by its deep genealogical roots, marked by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Union Cem, Sims Cem, and the Shropshire Cem. The rural infrastructure is visible through a network of local roads like Whetstone RD and Otis Jackson RD, which connect scattered homesteads to the Homochitto National Forest in the northeast.

Industrial activity and local transit are anchored by the Fred Netterville Lumber Company Wilkinson Community Airport, reflecting the region's timber-based economy. The intricate creek systems, including Caledonia Cr and Willis Br, create a complex topography of ridges and bottoms. This survey provides a precise look at the land's contemporary use, where traditional family sites coexist with modern forestry and aviation facilities.
