2010 Map of Canaan

About this map

Wolf River winds through the heart of this North Mississippi landscape, defining the lowlands of Robinson Bottom and drawing together several historic communities. The settlement of Canaan anchors the southeast, while Michigan City and Spring Hill sit to the north and west. This region is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting a high density of family and community burial sites such as the Samuel Chapel Cemetery, Littleton Cemetery, and Fleet Cemetery. Human activity is marked by a network of rural roads like Hamer Mill Rd and Grey Academy Rd, which connect these small settlements and family plots. To the west, the Aldarge Lookout Tower stands as a distinct landmark overlooking the varied terrain of Chubby Creek and Hardaway Pond. The map illustrates a rural economy organized around the river's path and a well-established network of county roads.
