2012 Map of Decatur NW

About this map

Stratton and Pine Bluff anchor this portion of Newton and Mississippi counties, where a dense network of country roads connects family-named homesteads and ancestral grounds. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Conehatta Cr and Turkey Cr, creating a rolling geography where small settlements like Jeff are situated among numerous tributary streams. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial sites, including Bufkin Cem, Hollingsworth Cem, and Indian Cem, which provide fixed points of reference for local families. The road names, such as Hugh Hudnall Rd, Andrew Milling Rd, and Sara Stamper Rd, offer a map of 20th-century landownership and community ties. Water features like Spring Lake and the County Pond further characterize the rural interior of the Piney Woods region during the early 21st century.
