About this map

Tucker and Blinker sit at the center of this rural Neshoba County landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by a series of engineered watercourses. The drainage of the bottomlands is managed through the Cushtusia Canal and Coonshuck Canal, which cut straight lines through the winding creek beds. This network supported small farming communities and timber interests near Deemer and Bethsaida.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including Spring Hill Cem, Center Hill Cem, and the Mt Olive Ch. The terrain transitions from the low canal basins to rising ground at Rock Gut Hill and Circle Hill. Near Bloomfield, small-scale resource extraction is evident at various Sandpits, while the American Legion Lake provides a notable recreational landmark in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.
