About this map

Tucker and the surrounding rural communities of Neshoba County characterize this landscape southeast of Philadelphia. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small watercourses and engineered drainage, including the Cushtusia Canal and the Coonshucka Canal, which navigate the low-lying areas between modest rises like Rock Gut Hill. This geography supported a series of established settlements and meeting points, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and community centers such as Spring Hill, Beatline, and Bethsaida. The road network, composed of a mix of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes and county roads, connects these rural hubs. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Spring Hill Cem, Bloomfield Cem, and Golden Grove Cem, which serve as physical anchors for the family histories of this portion of East Central Mississippi.
