About this map

Tallahala Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Shoals Mill Cr and Woodards Mill Cr, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Southeast Mississippi. The landscape is a network of small rural settlements such as Morriston and Macedonia, interconnected by a dense grid of local roads and loop drives. Many of these roads, like Riley Johnson Rd and Kelly Rose Ln, likely reflect long-standing family landholdings in the area.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites documented across the terrain, including Collins Cem, Barlow Cem, and Runnels Cem. These cemeteries, often located near small communities like Union and Barrontown, offer a tangible link to the families who settled the wooded creek bottoms and ridges north of Petal. The map captures the interface between the growing outskirts of the city and the established rural homesteads along the Jones and Forrest county line.
