About this map

Booneville serves as the focal point of this Prentiss County survey, where the Prentiss County Courthouse and Northeast Mississippi Community College anchor the downtown and educational district. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including the Tuscumbia River, Hornlucka Cr, and Tarlechia Cr, which carve through the terrain surrounding the city. Smaller outlying communities like Thrasher and Gaston reflect the rural settlement patterns typical of northeast Mississippi, while the presence of Booneville Lake provides a central water feature just south of the main township.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites for local research, ranging from the large Oaklawn Memorial Park and Booneville Cem to family-named locations such as Smith Cem and Cains Chapel Cem. The map also captures the residential expansion into areas like Sunflower and Lake City, illustrating how the county seat has grown along the corridors of the local creek systems and primary road networks.
