2020 Map of Carlisle

About this map

Rocky Springs and the small settlement of Carlisle anchor this Claiborne County landscape where the Natchez Trace Pkwy and its accompanying Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail follow the ancient ridgeline. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Big Black River at the northern boundary and Bayou Pierre to the south. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-named landmarks and resting places such as Rocky Springs Cem, Templeton Cem, and Flowers Cem. These sites, along with the Scotchillo Hills, offer a look at the rural topography and land divisions of the early 21st century. The presence of the Valley-of-the Moon Airport near the southern bend of the trace highlights the modern adaptation of this sparsely populated, river-bound terrain.
