2015 Map of Courtland

About this map

Courtland and Pope serve as the primary northern anchors of this Mississippi landscape, situated at the intersection of a sprawling road network and the upper reaches of the Enid Lake reservoir. The topography is defined by the Yocona River and its numerous tributaries, including Peters Cr and Nelson Cr, which drain the rolling terrain of Yocona Ridge. The map documents a rural corridor transitioning into the lakeside recreation and residential areas of Wallace Creek and Persimmon Hill. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of several small burying grounds, such as Antioch Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and Duke Cem, provides essential spatial context for family research in this tri-county region where Panola, Yalobusha, and Tallahatchie counties converge.
