About this map

The Holly Springs National Forest covers much of this landscape in Benton County, where the Tippah River cuts through the northern terrain. This early 1980s survey documents a predominantly rural environment defined by small settlements like Pine Grove and Bethel. The map is particularly detailed regarding local genealogy, noting numerous burial grounds including Pisgah Cem, Collins Cem, and the Old Hickory Flat Cem near the southern boundary.

Industry and resource extraction are evident through the presence of several Sandpits and a Claypit, indicating the area's geological utility beyond forestry. Hydrological features such as Autry Lake, Fox Hunters Lake, and Chilli Creek provide a framework for the local topography, which includes distinctive high points like Renick Hill and Clemmer Hill. The network of small branches, such as Baugham Branch and Pechahalee Creek, illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the larger river basin.
