2015 Map of Braxton

About this map

The town of Braxton serves as a central hub on this Simpson County map, where the local road network converges near the Braxton Cem. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of several prominent creeks, including Thompson Cr, Dabbs Cr, and Sanders Cr, which carve through the undulating terrain of the Piney Woods region. This area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the David Thomas Cem and Rockhill Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research. Further south, the settlement of Gum Springs sits near the namesake Gum Springs Cem, while Piney Woods and Pine Lake mark established residential and educational footprints. The boundary between Rankin and Simpson counties bisects the northern half of the sheet, illustrating the rural connectivity between these two Mississippi districts.
