About this map

Amory dominates the northwestern portion of this Northeast Mississippi landscape, revealing a dense grid of streets and residential avenues such as Concord Ave and Boulevard Dr N. This regional hub, characterized by its historical reliance on the rail corridor now marked by the B & K DR railroad, is surrounded by a network of smaller communities including Hatley to the east and Becker to the south. The terrain is defined by a series of winding watercourses, including Weaver Cr and Halfway Cr, which carve through the countryside.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the quadrangle, such as Gilleylen Cem and Posey Cem. The presence of the Monroe County Airport in the south and the Mississippi Valley Gas Transmission Line cutting across the northern reaches illustrates the modern infrastructure that overlays this traditionally agricultural region. Smaller water bodies like McAlpine Lake and Scribner Lake dot the landscape near the primary settlements.
