About this map

The Brices Crossroads National Battlefield Site anchors the southwestern corner of this region, preserving the site where Union and Confederate forces clashed. Near the settlement of Bethany, the Brices Crossroads National Battlefield Cem and Bethany Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogists and military historians. The landscape transitions from the heights of the Tippah Hills, including Kitchen Mtn and Geeville Mtn, down into the creek valleys of Twentymile Creek and Okelala Creek.

The town of Baldwyn serves as the primary population center, supported by the Booneville/Baldwyn Airport to its north. Small rural communities like Geeville and Frankstown are connected by a network of county roads, reflecting a long-standing agricultural and residential pattern. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Oak Hill Cem and Rubens Chapel Cem, are scattered across the Prentiss, Lee, and Union County lines.
