About this map

The Yalobusha River and its accompanying wetlands dominate the northern landscape of this region, which straddles the border between Calhoun and Chickasaw counties. The settlement of Vardaman sits at the northern edge, while the historic community of Atlanta anchors the southeastern quadrant. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Old Providence and Providence cemeteries in the west, and the Old Pleasant Grove and Pleasant Grove cemeteries further east, providing significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Water management is evident in the southern terrain with the Topashaw Cr Canal, which cuts through the lowlands near Wade Field. Smaller waterways like Cane Cr, Bear Cr, and Clemons Br drain the undulating hills, which are navigated by a network of rural county roads such as Hollis Switch Rd and J B Russell Rd. The map also captures the small rail stop at Hollis and the scattered rural homesteads that define this Mississippi agricultural landscape.
