About this map

Courtland and Pope anchor this landscape where the I C G railroad runs parallel to several north-south creek systems. The geography is defined by the Yocona River and the northern reaches of Enid Lake, which creates a complex shoreline around Cossar State Park. A significant historical alignment, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet, marking a legacy of early territorial divisions that persists across three counties.

Genealogists can trace several established congregations and burial grounds, including Antioch Cem and the Pope Chapel community. The abundance of water features, such as Bobo Bayou and Long Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns of the north-central Mississippi hill country. Recreational infrastructure is well-represented by the Riverview Recreation Area and Persimmon Hill Recreation Area, situated near the dam that regulates the reservoir waters.
