2015 Map of Willows

About this map

The Big Black River snakes across the landscape at the border of Warren and Claiborne Counties, carving a path through a territory defined by small settlements and family landmarks. In this riverine region, rural communities like Allen, Galloway, and Hankinson are connected by a network of historic routes including Allen Station Rd and the Old Port Gibson Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites such as Allen Cem, Willis Cem, and Humphreys Cem, which reflect generations of local residency. To the south, the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail cuts through the terrain near Willows, tracing a path of historical travel. The geography is further marked by the Scotchillo Hills and numerous winding waterways like Bayou Pierre and Blackman Bayou, illustrating the complex drainage of the Mississippi backcountry.
