2012 Map of Chalybeate

About this map

Chalybeate serves as the primary focal point in this northern Tippah County landscape, where the rural topography is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and family-named cemeteries. The Hatchie River meanders across the eastern half of the map, crossed by structures such as Lookout Bridge and Crum Bridge. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in burial sites, documenting local family lineages through names like the Harden Cem, Keith Cem, and Overton Cem. The presence of the State Line Cem at the northern border highlights the proximity to the Tennessee boundary. Settlement patterns follow the winding county roads, with the Camp Ground Cem and Union Cem marking long-standing community centers. Tributaries like Jones Cr, Dodd Cr, and Mathis Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of the upper Hatchie basin.
