2018 Map of Deemer

About this map

Philadelphia, Mississippi, anchors the northern edge of this landscape where rural settlements like Deemer and Spring Hill sit among the timber and headwaters of Neshoba County. The terrain is defined by engineered water management, including the Cushtusia Canal and Coonshuck Canal, which reflect efforts to drain the low-lying bottoms for agricultural use. Small community centers such as Beatline and Tucker are connected by a network of county roads and Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, signaling the local presence of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Family and community heritage is preserved across several burial grounds, including Spring Hill Cem, Bloomfield Cem, and Center Hill Cem. These landmarks, along with high points like Rock Gut Hill and Circle Hill, provide a detailed view of the rural Neshoba County social geography.
