About this map

Union and Morriston anchor the northern and central sections of this Mississippi landscape, where the convergence of Forrest, Jones, and Perry counties meets a network of vital waterways. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Tallahala Creek and its many tributaries, including Gillis Cr, Gully Br, and Sweetwater Cr. These drainage patterns have historically influenced the placement of rural settlements and family cemeteries that dot the countryside.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, such as Jordan Cem, Walters Cem, and Runnels Cem, which are scattered throughout the region. The southern edge of the map features Barrontown and the namesake Tallahala community, connected by a web of local routes like Old Richton Rd and Macedonia Rd. This 2015 survey provides a modern spatial context for these long-established communities and the rural infrastructure that supports them.
