About this map

Betheden and the surrounding Winston County woodlands are defined by a network of small family-named cemeteries and creek drainages. This 2012 survey details several small settlements, including Webster and Loakfoma, where local history is preserved at sites like Antioch Cem and Webster Cem. The landscape is etched by numerous watercourses, most notably Nanih Waiya Cr and Yellow Cr, which shape the rural road network connecting Millcreek to the outlying farms.

A dense web of local routes, such as Gum Branch to Highway 25 Rd and Truman Weeks Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of this Mississippi community. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial grounds, from Liberty Cem in the west to Glenn Cem and Bevil Hill Cem in the east, each serving as a marker for the families who settled this timber and agricultural land.
