About this map

The Buttahatchee River winds through the heart of this Monroe County landscape, defining the low-lying wetlands and drainage patterns of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of small family burial grounds, providing significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. From the Sartor Cem in the north to the Moss and Reed Cem in the east, these sites are often situated near historical road networks like Greenwood Springs Rd and Bartahatchie Rd. The presence of Cockerham Lake and numerous named tributaries such as Mormon Spring Br and Alsup Cr illustrates the well-watered nature of the terrain, where rural life has long been organized around these natural watercourses and the modest elevation changes between river bottoms and upland ridges.
