About this map

Sardis Lake dominates this 2021 landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching into the hills of Lafayette and Panola Counties. The settlement at Coles Point sits on the western shore of the reservoir, serving as a focal point for local activity near the water. The area's topography is defined by significant ridges like Carter Mtn, which rises above the surrounding creek valleys and drainage basins.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early family resting places including Emery Cem and Elijah Cem, tucked away off the secondary road network. The map reveals a transition from managed forest and recreational land, evidenced by the Clear Creek Trail, to the complex drainage systems of Buford Cr and Plants Br. The boundary line between Panola and Lafayette counties bisects the lake, illustrating how modern political borders intersect with the natural and man-made geography of northern Mississippi.
