About this map

Fulton serves as the focal point of this region, situated where the Tombigbee River snakes through the bottomlands of Itawamba County. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage system, with Mantachie Creek and Moores Cr feeding into the river valley. For those tracing local heritage, several rural crossroads and landings are documented, including Van Buren, Cardsville, and the namesake Beans Ferry. These small settlements reflect the historical reliance on river crossings and small-scale agriculture in this part of Mississippi.

Family history researchers will find several well-placed landmarks, from Bean Cem and Keys Cem to the banks of Pennington Lake. The road network, including routes like Dorsey Evergreen Rd and Beans Ferry Rd, connects these isolated points of interest. The area remains largely characterized by the marshy stretches of Pool C and the numerous small branches like English Br and Black Br that shape the local topography.
