2024 Map of Beans Ferry

About this map

The Tombigbee River and the massive Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominate the landscape of Itawamba County in this modern-day survey. This corridor has long been a vital artery for the region, and the map shows the transition from the winding natural river channel to the modern navigable waterway. Nearby, the community of Beans Ferry preserves the name of a historic crossing point, while Van Buren and Cardsville sit further inland among the dissected hills. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Reeds Cem, Wygul Cem, and Bean Cem. The area around Fulton in the northeast corner serves as a focal point where multiple county roads, such as Country Club Rd and Hardin Chapel Rd, converge near the river valley. The landscape is heavily defined by its drainage, with Mantachie Creek and Bourland Creek cutting through the western elevations.
