About this map

The Tombigbee River forms the eastern corridor of this area, defining the landscape and historical crossing points near Fulton. Historically significant for its river-and-rail economy, the region shows established small communities such as Abney, Van Buren, and Cardsville. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of creek drainages, including Mantachie Creek, Moores Cr, and Bourland Cr, which feed into the main river channel and its backwaters like Pool C.

For family historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous local burial grounds scattered throughout the township and range divisions. Significant sites include Keys Cem, Booth Cem, Reeds Cem, and the Shumpert Cem near Elliott Lake. This 2015 edition provides a contemporary look at the rural road networks, including Bankhead Rd SW and Hopewell Keys Rd, that link these older settlements across Itawamba County.
