Corinth stands as a primary crossroads in the northeastern corner of Mississippi, where the Illinois Central Gulf and Southern rail lines intersect. This 1984 survey documents the region's complex hydrological and topographic landscape, dominated by the Tennessee Divide, which separates the drainage of the Tennessee River and Pickwick Lake from the westward-flowing waters of the Hatchie River and Tuscumbia River. The map captures the transition from the rolling timberlands of the Holly Springs National Forest in the west to the significant elevation of Crow Mountain and the Hatchie Hills near the Alabama border. In addition to major regional centers like Booneville and Ripley, smaller settlements such as Jacinto and Burnsville are situated along a network of roads and rail corridors that define the local economy. The historic Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the southern portion of the sheet, providing a modern link through a landscape historically defined by its river basins and ridges.
