About this map

Corinth, Alcorn County, serves as a significant regional hub near the Tennessee border, where the Southern and Illinois Central Gulf railroads intersect. This early 1980s landscape reveals the city's civic core, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and the National Cem. Outside the main settlement, the land is marked by small crossroads and religious centers like Wenasoga and Ruslor Junction.

Natural drainage is defined by the Tuscumbia River and several smaller streams like Cane Creek and Indian Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the numerous documented burial sites and country churches, including Old Mt Carmel Cem, Holly Ch, and Pleasant Hill Ch. The presence of industrial markers such as an Airport, Magnolia Hospital, and several Weigh Stations along the modern highway corridors highlights the area's development as a transportation and service center.
