Calhoun City and the neighboring community of Derma sit at the center of this Mississippi landscape, defined by the winding course of the Yalobusha River and its managed tributaries like the Topashaw Creek Canal. The topographic data reveals a transition from the agricultural lowlands of Shipp Bottom to the rising hills populated with numerous rural burying grounds. These sites, including New Gauley Cem, Friendship Cem, and Cross Road Cem, provide essential geographic anchors for genealogists and local historians tracing family lineages in the region. To the south, Slate Springs serves as a secondary focal point near Shutispear Cr, while smaller waterways like Hurricane Cr and Miles Cr lace through the various sections. The map preserves the 21st-century road network, from local thoroughfares like Veterans Blvd to the remote reaches of Old Gauley Rd.
