2024 Map of Canaan

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Wolf River and its numerous tributaries, including Indian Creek, Chubby Creek, and Tubby Creek, define the drainage patterns of this border region where Mississippi meets Tennessee. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, such as Hill Cem and Valentine Cem, suggesting a long-standing rural settlement pattern concentrated around the crossroads of Michigan City and Spring Hill. In the southeast, the terrain shifts into the Holly Springs National Forest near the settlement of Canaan. The mapping of historic routes like Old Hwy 72 and named geographic features like Mosquito Bend and Robinson Bottom indicates a landscape shaped by its river bottoms and early transportation corridors. Genealogists will find a high density of named cemeteries, including the Saint Paul Skipper Springs Church Cem and Samuel Chapel Cem, which anchor the local history of Benton County.
