About this map

The boundary lines of Tippah, Union, Prentiss, and Lee counties converge across this Northeast Mississippi landscape, anchored by the community of Baldwyn. The terrain is defined by the high ground of the Tippah Hills, with prominent peaks like Kitchen Mtn and Geeville Mtn rising above the surrounding creek bottoms. To the west, the Brices Crossroads National Battlefield Cem stands as a significant landmark, marking the site of a major Civil War engagement nearby.

Transport and transit infrastructure includes the Booneville/Baldwyn Airport and the corridor connecting Frankstown and Geeville. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Rubens Chapel Cem, Sheppard Cem, and Carrollville Cem, are scattered throughout the hills, providing valuable data for genealogical research. The drainage network is complex, with Twentymile Cr, Town Cr, and Okeelala Cr carving through the valleys between the named ridges.
