About this map

The Chickasawhay River meanders through the heart of this Wayne County landscape, defining the topography between the small settlements of Buckatunna and Winchester. This 2012 survey captures a rural Mississippi corridor where family-named roads and landmarks illustrate the region's deep-rooted genealogy. Several burial grounds, including Winchester Cem, Mills Cem, Powe Cem, and Washam Cem, are scattered across the terrain, serving as vital markers for local historians.

Transportation patterns are anchored by U.S. Highway 45, which connects Robinsons Junction to the community of Battles in the south. The river is fed by numerous tributaries such as Meadows Mill Cr, Patrick Cr, and Beaver Cr, which carve through the woodlands surrounding Chicora. The map reflects a landscape where the river's winding path continues to influence local settlement and transit routes.
