About this map

Emerald Mound anchors the southwestern corner of this landscape, representing a significant prehistoric landmark near the modern corridor of the Natchez Trace Pkwy. The region is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Lum Bayou, S Fork Coles Cr, and Bullen Cr, which carve through the terrain between small settlements like Church Hill and Stampley.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial sites, such as Brooks Cem, Wood Cem, and Chamberlin Cem. The local economy of the early 21st century is marked by scattered energy extraction, with the North Sunnyside Oil Field, Cannonsburg Oil Field, and Stampley Oil Field situated among the timbered tracts and rural homesteads. This documentation captures the area's transition from early Po and lookout tower infrastructure to modern road networks like Cannonsburg Rd.
