About this map

Calhoun City and the neighboring town of Derma anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, situated just north of the Yalobusha River. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses and cemeteries, including New Gauley Cem and Calhoun City Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The complex hydrology of the area is evident in the engineering of the Topashaw Creek Canal and the presence of Martin Lakes, illustrating how the community has historically managed the river bottomlands.

Further south and east, the settlement of Benela is documented alongside its namesake Benela Cem. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grids of the primary towns to the winding rural routes like Old Gauley Rd and Jimmy Goodson Rd. These corridors connect numerous rural burial sites such as Friendship Cem and Union Grove Cem, marking the long-established family and community ties within the county.
