About this map

Black Hawk serves as the central hub of this Carroll County landscape, situated at the intersection of several historic rural corridors like Morris Rd and Black Hawk Rd. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by a dense network of family and community burial grounds including Hines Memorial Cem, Bethel Cem, and Mount Pera Cem. These sites, along with smaller settlements such as Seven Pines and Acona, are connected by a web of county roads that navigate the local hydrology.

Several significant waterways carve through the terrain, most notably Abiaca Cr and Chicopa Cr, which influence the local road patterns and land use. The presence of numerous named branches like Fisher Br and Everett Br indicates a highly dissected landscape. For researchers and historians, the map provides an essential record of rural Mississippi life, documenting the placement of long-standing churches, cemeteries, and named creek crossings that have shaped the community's identity for generations.
