About this map

Decatur and the surrounding rural townships in Newton County are defined by a dense network of watercourses and family-named roads in the mid-2010s. The headwaters of Conehatta Cr and Okatibbee Cr drain this hilly interior, while local settlements like Stratton and Jeff anchor the agricultural landscape. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Hollingsworth Cem near Turkey Cr and the Bufkin Cem further west, both of which serve as important landmarks for local family history research.

A system of historic routes such as Decatur Conehatta Rd and Newton-Conehatta Rd intersect the terrain, connecting small hubs like Pine Bluff to the larger county seat. The topography is marked by several water bodies, including Spring Lake and County Pond, reflecting the importance of both natural drainage and managed water resources in this section of Mississippi. The map provides a precise account of property divisions and rural infrastructure across multiple townships.
