1982 Map of Chalybeate

About this map

Chalybeate lies near the center of a complex borderland where Tippah and Alcorn counties meet the Tennessee-Mississippi state line. This 1982 survey reveals a landscape of dispersed rural settlements and local institutions, such as Union Center Sch and Overton Hill Sch, which served the farming communities of the late twentieth century. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like the Hatchie River, Muddy Creek, and Hurricane Creek, which dictate the placement of roads and family-named landmarks.
