2012 Map of Chilli Creek

About this map

Pine Grove and the surrounding woodlands of Benton County define this landscape, where the Tippah River meanders across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The area is marked by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Lonoke Cem, Elliott Cem, and Hudspeth Cem, providing significant touchpoints for genealogists researching local families. The terrain transitions from low-lying bottoms near Richmond Hollow to the higher elevations of Clemmer Hill and Renick Hill. Water management is central to the local geography, visible in the numerous man-made and named reservoirs such as Baugham Lake, South Chilli Lake, and Buck Rucker Lake. These lakes, alongside the winding paths of Chilli Cr and Pechahalee Cr, illustrate a complex hydrological network integrated into the rural Mississippi countryside.
