About this map

The Alabama-Mississippi state line bisects this landscape, marking the transition between Choctaw County and its neighbors to the west. Small settlements like Yantley and Cyril anchor a rural network of county roads and family cemeteries, including Mount Zion Cem and Tims Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense system of waterways and ridges, where the Bogue Chitto river and the Douglas Canal navigate the lowlands beneath prominent rises like Bill Mtn and Hog Wallow Ridge.

Local history is preserved in the names of the small drainages and ridges, such as Turkey Pen Ridge and Greasy Cr. This modern survey details the complex borderlands where Mississippi and Alabama meet, showing the current infrastructure of rural life through labels like Rock Gap and McLendon Cem. The landscape remains largely defined by its natural watercourses, from Tuckabum Cr in the north to Okatuppa Cr in the south.
