About this map

Brices Cross Roads National Battlefield Site anchors the southwestern portion of this 1970s survey, marking a significant historical geography where Lee, Prentiss, and Union counties converge. The town of Baldwyn dominates the southeast, showing the industrial alignment of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad alongside local features like the Booneville-Baldwyn Airport.

Outside the primary settlements of Frankstown and Geeville, the landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks including Kitchen Mountain, Geeville Mountain, and Lebanon Mountain. Numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as Oak Hill Ch, Asbury Ch, and Sheppard Cem, are scattered along the ridge lines and creek valleys of Twentymile Creek and Okeelala Creek, providing essential landmarks for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Northeast Mississippi.
