About this map

Atlanta sits at the heart of this landscape in Calhoun County, Mississippi, where the terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage and agricultural modification. The northern reaches are shaped by the Yalobusha River Canal and the natural course of the Yalobusha River, while the south is partitioned by the Topashaw Creek Canal. These engineered watercourses reflect the area's long-standing reliance on reclaimed bottomlands for cultivation.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable burial sites including Providence Cem, Old Providence Cem, and Midway Cem. Small rural nodes like Hollis and Bently mark the crossroads of a dense grid of county roads, while Wade Field Airport provides a localized aviation landmark. The map detail highlights the movement of water through numerous named tributaries such as Bear Creek, Cane Cr, and Clemons Br, illustrating the intricate hydrology of this central Mississippi region.
