About this map

Cadaretta and Slate Spring anchor this early 1980s landscape at the boundary of Calhoun and Webster Counties. The map reveals a rural topography defined by small-scale community centers and numerous family-named landmarks. Settlements like Dentontown and Spring Hill are interwoven with foundational local institutions, including Philadelphia Ch and the Old Salem Cem.

A network of watercourses, including Sabougla Creek and its associated Canal, alongside Lindsay Creek, shape the settlement patterns in this part of Mississippi. High points like Bald Hill and Sandy Mountain provide orientation in a region where life was historically centered around the church and cemetery. The map serves as a detailed record of rural life, marking sites such as Harmony Ch and the Roberts Cem, which remain vital for genealogical research in these North Mississippi communities.
