2012 Map of Barrontown

About this map

Tallahala Cr meanders south through this landscape, defining the local drainage patterns that shaped the small communities of Morriston and Barrontown. In the early 2010s, this area of Mississippi shows a distribution of several family-named burial grounds, including Morriston Cem, Odoms Cem, and Runnels Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage. The topography is further marked by the Petal Lookout Tower near Macedonia, a prominent landmark in a region defined by numerous small waterways like Jasshead Cr, Gillis Cr, and McWilliams Br. The network of country roads such as Augusta Rd and Ovett Moselle Rd connects these rural settlements, reflecting a long-established pattern of southern Mississippi land use where creek-side agriculture and forestry prevail.
