About this map

Bexar and its surrounding rural landscapes are documented here at the Alabama-Mississippi state line. This borderland is defined by a series of small, family-linked burial grounds including Stevens Cemetery, Wigginton Cemetery, and Gann Cemetery, which provide essential geographic anchors for genealogical research in this region. The landscape is heavily dissected by a network of waterways such as Sipsey Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Splunge Creek, which dictated the early placement of roads and homesteads.

The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted community connected by a complex web of local routes like Bexar Gin Rd and Mt Zion Church Rd. Landmarks such as the McRae Dam on Dry Creek suggest the local management of water resources in an area primarily shaped by small-scale agriculture and timber. For those tracing ancestry in this corner of Itawamba County and the neighboring Alabama hills, the placement of Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Robinson Cemetery offers a precise record of historical land use.
