About this map

Bissell and the western outskirts of Tupelo are captured here during a period of suburban residential development integrated with traditional Mississippi farmland. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Chiwapa Cr and Tubbalubba Cr, which traverse the southern half of the quadrangle. Several distinct residential communities are established, including Fawn Meadows, Praise Acres, and Haven Acres, reflecting the 21st-century growth of the region.

For local historians and genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating family burial sites such as the Mallory Family Cem, Old Coffee Cem, and West Moreland Cem. The inclusion of Spearman Field Airport in the southeast and the Natchez Trace Pkwy cutting through the center highlights the area's diverse transportation infrastructure, from modern aviation to the preservation of the historic wilderness road corridor.
