Soil Survey of Choctaw County, Alabama United States In cooperation with Department of the Alabama Agricultural Agriculture Experiment Station and the Soil Survey of Alabama Soil and Water Natural Conservation Committee Resources Choctaw County, Conservation Service Alabama 3 How to Use This Soil Survey General Soil Map The general soil map, which is the color map preceding the detailed soil maps, shows the survey area divided into groups of associated soils called general soil map units. This map is useful in planning the use and management of large areas. To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the map, identify the name of the map unit in the area on the color-coded map legend, then refer to the section General Soil Map Units for a general description of the soils in your area. Detailed Soil Maps The detailed soil maps follow the general soil map. These maps can be useful in planning the use and management of small areas. To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the Index to Map Sheets, which precedes the soil maps. Note the number of the map sheet and turn to that sheet. Locate your area of interest on the map sheet. Note the map units symbols that are in that area. Turn to the Contents, which lists the map units by symbol and name and shows the page where each map unit is described. The Contents shows which table has data on a specific land use for each detailed soil map unit. Also see the Contents for sections of this publication that may address your specific needs. 4 This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1998. Soil names and descriptions were approved in 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1998. This survey was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, the Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee, and the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries. The survey is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Choctaw County Soil and Water Conservation District. Soil maps in this survey may be copied without permission. Enlargement of these maps, however, could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale.

  • Choctaw and Creek Removals
    Chapter 6 Choctaw and Creek Removals The idea of indian removal as a government obligation first reared its head in 1802 when officials of the state of Georgia made an agreement with federal government officials. In the Georgia Compact, the state of Georgia gave up its claims to territorial lands west of that state in exchange for $1,250,000 and a promise that the federal government would abolish Indian title to Georgia lands as soon as possible. How seriously the government took its obligation to Georgia at the time of the agreement is unknown. The following year, however, the Louisiana Purchase was made, and almost immedi- ately, the trans-Mississippi area was seen by some as the answer to “The Indian Problem.” Not everyone agreed. Some congress- men argued that removal to the West was impractical because of land-hungry whites who could not be restrained from crossing the mighty river to obtain land. Although their conclusion was correct, it was probably made more in opposition to President Jefferson than from any real con- cern about the Indians or about practicality. Although some offers were made by government officials to officials of various tribes, little Pushmataha, Choctaw was done about removing the southeastern tribes before the War of 1812. warrior During that war several Indian tribes supported the British. After the war ended, many whites demanded that tribal lands be confiscated by Removals 67 the government as punishment for Indians’ treasonous activities. Many Americans included all tribes in their confiscationdemands , evidently feeling that all Indians were guilty, despite the fact that many tribes did not participate in the war.

  • The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics
    The Mississippi Choctaw and Racial Politics In December of 1912, Mississippi Representative Pat Harrison stood before Congress and made an impassioned speech on behalf of the Choctaw Indians living in his district along the Gulf Coast. In a heavily edited version of the past, Harrison announced, “Mr. Chairman, the Choctaw Indians always stood with the white men of the South.”1 These Indians were the descendants of those who had remained in Mississippi when the Choctaw Nation ceded its territory in Mississippi, and the majority of Choctaws moved to Indian Territory, today Oklahoma, in the 1830s. Left landless, most Choctaws had withdrawn into isolated, poverty-stricken ethnic enclaves where virtually all survived as sharecroppers and low-paid day laborers. While the Choctaws were not officially classified under the segregation statutes as “colored,” they nonetheless suffered discrimination because of customary racial segregation. They had no access to “white” schools or other facilities. Yet Harrison and the Mississippi congressional delegation, all ardent supporters of segregation, were seeking redress for the injustice the Indians had suffered in the removal era and more recently when the United States closed the roll of the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma, excluding most Mississippi Choctaws from the benefits stemming from Choctaw Nation citizenship. Their support of the Choctaws puts an interesting kink in the state’s racial politics. 1 The efforts of the congressmen reflected how the Choctaws’ relationship to Mississippi politicians had changed: in the nineteenth century, politicians had answered the Indians’ cries for justice with renewed attempts to hound them out of the state. The willingness of Mississippi’s civic leaders to carry the Choctaws’ banner in the early twentieth century raises significant questions.

GEOLOGY- A FASCINATING DISCIPLINE OF NATURAL SCIENCE Our home planet “The Earth” is a member of the solar system. Also known as the ‘Blue Planet’, it is the only heavenly body of revolution that has a delicate balance of physico-chemical conditions, which support sustenance of life that is unique and special. Geology is a natural scientific discipline and is a term derived from the summation of two ‘Greek’ words such as ‘Ge or Geo’ meaning the earth and ‘Logos’ meaning science or discourse. It pertains to the study of the earth as a whole or part thereof. In a broader sense, geology could be reframed as ‘Earth Science’ which considers the whole earth as closed system, which is ever dynamic and a mosaic of four interactive parts that are ever changeable both among and within them. These four parts are called four reservoirs of materials of the earth (Fig.1.1) which also represent the four open systems such as (i) THE ATMOSPHERE which surrounds the – earth’s surface as a continuous canopy (layer) composed of a gaseous mixture of nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), carbon Fig.1.1: Reservoirs of earth materials and transfer of energy - 1 - BilimTook.com dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O↑).

  • Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866
    SLAVES AND SLAVEHOLDERS IN THE CHOCTAW NATION: 1830-1866 Jeffrey L. Fortney , Jr., B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2009 APPROVED: D. Harland Haglen, Major Professor Randolph Campbell, Committee Member F. Todd Smith, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Michael Monticino, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Fortney Jr., Jeffrey L. Slaves and Slaveholders in the Choctaw Nation: 1830-1866. Master of Arts (History), May 2009, 71 pp., 5 tables, 4 figures, bibliography, 46 titles. Racial slavery was a critical element in the cultural development of the Choctaws and was a derivative of the peculiar institution in southern states. The idea of genial and hospitable slave owners can no more be conclusively demonstrated for the Choctaws than for the antebellum South. The participation of Choctaws in the Civil War and formal alliance with the Confederacy was dominantly influenced by the slaveholding and a connection with southern identity, but was also influenced by financial concerns and an inability to remain neutral than a protection of the peculiar institution. Had the Civil War not taken place, the rate of Choctaw slave ownership possibly would have reached the level of southern states and the Choctaws would be considered part of the South.
