2015 Map of Conehatta

About this map

Conehatta sits near the crossing of several rural routes in this section of the Mississippi interior, where the landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Tuscolameta Creek and Bollybusha Creek. The 2015 survey reveals a pattern of dispersed settlements like Piketown and Hazel, interspersed with numerous family and community burial grounds including Amis Cem, Summers Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The road network is deeply rooted in local history, featuring names like Old Jackson Rd and Ringgold Rd. Evidence of water management and land use is visible through features such as the Warrior Canal and the southern Wolf Br. The map documents the boundary between Scott and Newton Counties, capturing the quiet character of these Central Mississippi timber and agricultural lands as they appeared in the mid-2010s.
