2018 Map of Cranfield

About this map

Natchez Trace Parkway curves through the northern landscape of this Adams County region, signaling a connection to the historic travel corridor. This map documents a rural network of family and community burial grounds, including Roaring Dale Cem, Hickory Grove Cem, and Hoggatt Cem, which anchor the small settlements of Fenwick, Cranfield, and Leesdale. The southern portion of the area is dominated by the protected timberlands of the Homochitto National Forest, where a complex system of local drainages like Sandy Cr and Bates Cr feed into the regional watershed. The topography is defined by the winding paths of South Fork Coles Creek and Whitens Cr, which cut through the hills near Stanton. This map serves as an essential record of family names and land usage in the late 2010s, capturing the enduring rural character of Southwest Mississippi before further development.
