2018 Map of Calhoun City

About this map

Calhoun City and Derma serve as the primary population centers in this rural Mississippi landscape, situated north of the expansive Shipp Bottom floodplains. The drainage of the Yalobusha River and its numerous tributaries, such as Topashaw Cr and Hurricane Cr, defines the local topography. This 2018 survey reveals a settlement pattern characterized by numerous small, family-oriented burial grounds scattered throughout the countryside, including New Gauley Cem, Cross Road Cem, and Pleasant Ridge Cem. To the south, Slate Springs sits near the confluence of Shutispear Cr and the larger Topashaw Creek Canal. This network of waterways and canals illustrates the region's historic efforts to manage the wetlands and bottomlands for agriculture and development.
