About this map

Conehatta and the surrounding timberlands of eastern Mississippi are defined by a complex network of waterways and early transit routes. The landscape is bisected by the Scott Co Newton Co line, where the natural meanders of Tuscolameta Creek and Bollybusha Creek meet engineered drainage such as the South Canal and Warrior Canal. These waterways dictate the placement of local roads like Old Jackson Rd and Newton Conehatta Rd, which connect the small settlements of Hazel and Conehatta.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history points throughout the quadrangle, including the Amis Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Summers Cem. The area’s Choctaw heritage is reflected in the road network, with multiple Bureau of Indian Affairs routes such as BIA Rte 284 and BIA Rte 2810 serving the rural communities. Local landmarks like Carson Pond and Community Pond further illustrate the interaction between the local population and the marshy, creek-fed terrain.
