2012 Map of Clara

About this map

The settlement of Clara serves as the central hub of this eastern Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of family-named roads reflects the deep-rooted agricultural and rural heritage of Wayne County. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system including Big Cr, Maynor Cr, and Turkey Cr, which likely shaped local property lines and travel routes for generations. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family landmarks and burial sites, such as the Big Creek Cem near the northern reaches and Pittman Cem to the south. Further east, Mills Cem sits near the waters of Patrick Cr, highlighting how early settlers established communities along these vital watercourses. The inclusion of names like Moley Wise Rd and Thomas Hinton Dr provides a direct link to the families who have long shaped this part of the state.
