2018 Map of Camp Hill

About this map

The Wolf River meanders through this section of northern Mississippi, defining the drainage patterns for a landscape dotted with small family settlements and numerous burial grounds. Centered on the Holly Springs National Forest, the area transitions from the wooded slopes of the Cumberland Plateau to the fertile bottomlands near Brody and New Canaan. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the high density of small cemeteries, including Black Jack Cem, Medlock Cem, and Hines Cem, which are often situated near old parish roads and church sites like Zion Chapel Cem. The map illustrates a rural economy tied to the land and the water, with named tributaries such as Sourwood Cr and Moody Cr feeding into the river system. Northward, the landscape reaches toward the Tennessee state line, where the rural crossroads of Hopewell sits near the headwaters of E Fork Spring Cr.
