About this map

Tuscolameta Creek and its managed watercourse, the Warrior Canal, define the low-lying drainage patterns across the border of Scott and Newton counties. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape largely dominated by timber and agriculture, centered around the unincorporated communities of Conehatta and Hazel. The mapping of small water bodies like Big Lake, Carson Pond, and Community Pond suggests a local economy and ecology tied closely to these wetlands and tributaries.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial sites scattered throughout the rural sections. Multiple cemeteries, including Amis Cem, Summers Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem, are documented alongside a network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as BIA Rte 284. The presence of these named roads and historical burial grounds provides a clear record of the settlement patterns and community lineage in this portion of central Mississippi.
