About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River meanders across this Panola County landscape, shaping the development of rural settlements like Asa and Chapeltown. The terrain is defined by low-lying bottomlands and drainage features such as Running Slough Ditch and Hayne Cr, while Nelsons Bluff provides a distinct change in elevation near the river's path. Local infrastructure includes the Squirrel Bridge and the Birdsong Landing Strip, reflecting a mix of traditional river crossings and modern utility.

Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the McIvor Cem and Chapeltown Cem, which anchor the historical community sites within this agricultural region. The network of roads, such as Macedonia Rd and Dummyline Rd, indicates the legacy of land divisions and the movement of goods through the river valley. The map documents a quiet, water-rich territory where small creeks like Armstead Cr and O'Brien Cr feed into the primary river system.
