2012 Map of Calhoun City

About this map

Calhoun City and the neighboring community of Derma anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, where the Yalobusha River and its tributaries carve through the countryside. The area is defined by a high density of small rural burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogists researching families around the Benela settlement. These sites, such as New Gauley Cem, Friendship Cem, and McPhail Cem, are scattered across the terrain, often near small watercourses like Hurricane Cr and Splunge Cr. In the southern portion of the map, Rainbow Field and Pleasant Ridge Cem mark the transition toward more open bottoms, while the northern section shows the established street grids of the primary towns. The network of local routes, including Co RD 306 and Co RD 308, connects these historic centers with the surrounding agricultural land and water bodies like Martin Lakes.
