2015 Map of Carlisle

About this map

The settlement of Rocky Springs and its neighboring Rocky Springs Cemetery sit at a historic crossroads where the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail intersects with the Old Port Gibson Road. This Mississippi landscape is defined by the sharp topography of the Scutchillo Hills and a dense network of creek systems including Big Sand Creek and Gunns Bayou, which drain toward the wide valley of Bayou Pierre in the south. Genealogists will find significant local family markers preserved in the Harper Cemetery, Templeton Cemetery, and Flowers Cemetery 1. Near the southern rail line, the community of Carlisle serves as a local anchor, while the Valley of the Moon Airport provides a distinct modern landmark among the traditional river-and-road travel corridors that have shaped Claiborne County for generations.
