2012 Map of Blue Mountain

About this map

Blue Mountain serves as the central hub of this northern Mississippi landscape, characterized by its network of creeks and small hills. The area exhibits a dense concentration of historical markers, particularly cemeteries like Union Hill Cem and Flat Rock Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The topography is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the Tippah River and Hell Cr, which cut through the terrain near landmarks such as Bald Knob and Banana Hill. Settlement patterns appear concentrated around the small community of Lowrey and the various hills like Beulah Hill and Minter Hill. The presence of the Ripley Airport in the northeastern corner suggests modern transportation infrastructure adjacent to more traditional rural landmarks, while bodies of water like Wood Duck Lake and Godwin Lake punctuate the drainage basins between the numerous county roads.
