2010 Map of Chalybeate

About this map

Chalybeate Cemetery and Union Cemetery sit at the heart of this North Mississippi landscape, where the headwaters of the Hatchie River weave through a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage system including Muddy Creek, Bearman Creek, and Jonesboro Creek, which together shape the local settlement patterns. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, from the State Line Cemetery at the northern border to Ebenezer Cemetery and Providence Cemetery further south. The map documents two notable crossing points over the Hatchie, Lookout Bridge and Crum Bridge, which serve as key navigational nodes for the surrounding area. The presence of Old Hwy 72 and a grid of county roads provides a detailed layout of the community’s infrastructure at the end of the decade.
