2015 Map of Buckatunna

About this map

The Chickasawhay River and its meandering tributaries dominate the landscape of southeastern Mississippi in this 2015 record. Small rural settlements and family-named landmarks are clustered along the drainage basins of Buckatunna Creek and Beaver Cr. In the northern portion, Winchester sits near the Winchester Cem, while the historic logging and river town of Chicora is positioned further south along the riverbanks. The map reveals a dense network of local roads and family-named routes such as Rose McCary Rd and Dub Beasley Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by generational land ownership. Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the documentation of several family and community burial grounds, including Washam Cem, Powe Cem, and Mount Zion Cem. These features, alongside the river junctions and secondary settlements like Robinsons Junction, provide a clear picture of the modern rural infrastructure in Wayne County.
