About this map

Stretching across the border of Carroll and Montgomery counties, this mid-1970s survey reveals a landscape defined by small rural congregations and family burial grounds nestled among the tributaries of the Yazoo River basin. The western edge of Winona appears near the intersection of major transit corridors, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with community landmarks like St Johns Chapel and Summerfield Ch.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous small impoundments such as Bailey Lake and Barrentine Lake feeding into drainage systems like Little Sand Cr and Hays Creek. These water bodies and the network of winding creeks, including Ashley Creek and Caney Creek, dictate the placement of local roads and the historical distribution of farmsteads and rural churches such as New Salem Ch and Nebo Ch.
