2012 Map of Carlisle

About this map

Rocky Springs sits at the heart of this landscape, a site of deep significance along the historic Natchez Trace Pkwy. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Big Black River to the north and Bayou Pierre to the south, with the Scutchillo Hills rising between these drainages. Small rural settlements like Humphreys and Carlisle anchor the road network, which includes locally named routes such as Old Port Gibson Rd and Hickory Ridge Rd. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the scattered burial grounds, including Rocky Springs Cem, Harper Cem, Templeton Cem, and Flowers Cem. The presence of the Valley of the Moon Airport near the southern boundary adds a distinctive modern landmark to an area otherwise characterized by its intricate system of creeks and bayous, such as Gunns Bayou and Little Sand Cr.
