2015 Map of Bellefontaine

About this map

Bellefontaine and the surrounding woodlands of Webster and Calhoun Counties are defined by a network of small creeks and community burial grounds. This 2015 dataset documents a rural Mississippi landscape where the headwaters of Sabougla Cr and Bellefontaine Cr cut through the undulating terrain. The area is marked by numerous family and community cemeteries, such as New Hope Cem and Quinn Cem, which suggest long-standing ancestral ties to the land. Settlement is concentrated in small unincorporated clusters like Slate Spring and Embry, connected by a web of county roads and local routes like Mhoon Rd. The presence of Dorroh Lake and the American Legion post south of Bellefontaine highlights the local character of this quiet agricultural region during the early 21st century.
