About this map

The northern reaches of Senatobia and the expansive waters of Arkabutla Lake define this portion of Tate County. The reservoir creates a complex shoreline characterized by features like Sunfish Bay, Hernando Point, and Bayou Point, where the landscape transitions from open water to the wooded peninsulas of the Coldwater River basin. South of the lake, the terrain is etched by drainage systems including Arkabutla Creek and Hickahala Creek, which flow through a network of rural roads that connect local family landmarks and agricultural plots.

Evidence of the area's long-term settlement is found at Singleton Springs Cem, located near Patent Creek in the southern section of the map. The settlement of Arkabutla sits just west of the lake's main body, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural infrastructure. This modern survey illustrates how water management and recreation at the lake now coexist with the historic land divisions and cemeteries of the north Mississippi hill country.
