About this map

Dentontown and Cadaretta anchor this rural landscape in north-central Mississippi, where the boundary between Calhoun Co and Webster Co cuts across a complex drainage system. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Sabougla Creek, Lindsay Cr, and Pryor Cr, which flow between prominent high points like Bald Hill and Sandy Mtn. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and family-named routes such as Dentontown Rd and Spring Hill Cemetery Rd, connecting several small settlements and community hubs.

Local history is deeply etched into the land through an unusually high concentration of cemeteries. Genealogists can locate family burial grounds including Philadelphia Cem, Lowrimore Cem, and Ingrams Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. These sites, along with established clusters like Spring Hill and Slate Springs, illustrate the persistent settlement patterns of this region, where small-scale farming and timber interests have long followed the creek bottoms and ridgelines.
