2000 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

Chuquatonchee Creek and its many tributaries, including Cane Creek and Shaw Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Chickasaw County landscape at the turn of the millennium. The settlement of Buena Vista sits in the southern portion of the sheet, while the outskirts of Okolona are visible in the northeast near the Sewage Disposal Pond. This area is characterized by a high density of rural religious and burial sites, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. Significant landmarks include New Hope Ch, Palestine Cem, and the Pulliam Cem. The western edge of the map features the eastern boundary of the Tombigbee National Forest, while industrial activity is noted at the Claypits near the southern border. The intricate network of creek bottoms, such as Red Bud Creek and Jolly Creek, highlights the topographical complexity of the prairie and forest margins.
