2020 Map of Atlanta

About this map

The Yalobusha River and Topashaw Cr Canal dominate the drainage of this Mississippi landscape along the border of Calhoun and Chickasaw counties. Small rural settlements like Atlanta, Vardaman, and Hollis anchor the community, connected by a network of county roads including Co RD 131 and HWY 341 S. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many recorded burial grounds, such as Old Providence Cem, Old Pleasant Grove Cem, and Bentley Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural and forested terrain. The presence of the Topashaw Cr Canal and smaller tributaries like Bear Cr and Meridian Cr illustrates the managed water systems necessary for the local agricultural economy. Features like Wade Field further emphasize the land's transition between natural waterways and productive rural acreage during the early twenty-first century.
