2018 Map of Ashland

About this map

Ashland serves as the seat of Benton County, appearing here as a crossroads community amidst the undulating hills of North Mississippi. The landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural bottoms and forested tracts, with a significant portion of the southern area protected within the Holly Springs National Forest. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family and community landmarks, including Bethlehem Cem, Ayers Cem, and Bogard Cem, alongside the centralized Ashland Cem. The residential development at Snow Lake Shores surrounds the waters of Snow Lake, contrasting with the more rural drainage basins of Robinson Bottom and the Tippah River. This 2018 survey also identifies infrastructure such as the John Farese Airpark and numerous country roads like Tubby Bottom Rd and Carter Flat Rd, which provide a detailed framework of the modern rural infrastructure.
