2021 Map of Canaan

About this map

Holly Springs National Forest encompasses the eastern portion of this landscape where the Wolf River meanders across the border of Mississippi and Tennessee. This 2021 survey reveals a rural territory defined by small settlements like Michigan City, Spring Hill, and Canaan, connected by a network of local roads including Hwy 72 and Old Hwy 72. The land is dotted with family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the high density of small burial grounds such as Valentine Cem, McKinzie Cem, and Samuel Chapel Cem. These sites, alongside geographic features like Robinson Bottom and Mosquito Bend, reflect a long-established pattern of upland farming and bottomland drainage. The map also records water management efforts, such as the Indian Creek Watershed Number Eight Lake, which contrast with natural watercourses like Chubby Cr and Blind Tiger Cr.
