2018 Map of Amory SE

About this map

The Buttahatchee River meanders through this portion of Monroe County, defining a landscape of wetlands and complex creek systems. This 2018 survey documents a region deeply marked by its family legacies, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds like Jones Cem, Sartor Cem, and Marchbanks Cem. The presence of Cockerham Lake and numerous named branches, such as Morman Springs Br and Rocky Bluff Br, indicates the water-rich geography that has likely influenced settlement and land use for generations. Small rural corridors like Red Hill Rd and Bartahatchie Rd provide the primary access to these tucked-away cemeteries and homesteads. Researchers focusing on North Mississippi genealogy will find value in the precise locations of family-named landmarks and the intricate network of local roads that connect the dispersed rural population.
