2020 Map of Bellefontaine

About this map

Bellefontaine and the surrounding woodlands of Webster and Calhoun counties are defined by a complex network of creeks and rural cemeteries. The landscape is carved by the meandering paths of Sabougla Cr, Shutispear Cr, and Bellefontaine Cr, which drain the low-lying basins of the region. Small, longstanding communities like Slate Springs and Embry are connected by a web of county roads including Macon Rd and Dorroh Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of burial sites documented here, such as North Union Cem, Pilgrim Rest Cem, and the family-named Vance Cem. The presence of landmarks like Dorroh Lake and the American Legion post reflect the social and recreational focal points of this quiet corner of Mississippi during the early twenty-first century.
