2017 Map of Wilmot NW

About this map

Wallace stands at the northwestern corner of this Ashley County landscape, where the flat alluvial topography of the Mississippi Delta is defined by an intricate network of waterways and rural county roads. The drainage pattern is established by Haley Cr and Beech Cr, which wind through a patchwork of agricultural plots and low-lying wetlands. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several small burial grounds scattered across the townships, including New Texas Cem in the north and Cleveland Cem situated near the center of the quadrangle. Southward, the terrain follows the course of White Oak Cr, while the eastern portion of the sheet shows the area around Young Lake. The transition between T17S and T18S reflects the orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System, providing a clear spatial context for researchers tracing family landholdings near Hogue Cem and Beech Creek Cem.
