2015 Map of Bethlehem

About this map

Bethlehem and its surrounding rural landscape occupy the heart of the Holly Springs National Forest, where the terrain is defined by the drainage of the Tippah River and Potts Cr. This 2015 record illustrates a region deeply connected to its community foundations, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds and churches that dot the countryside, such as Baptist Hill Cem and Salem Cem. The southern edge of the map follows the winding path of the Little Tallahatchie River as it passes near the settlement of Riverside.
