About this map

The Chickasawhay River and Buckatunna Creek define the hydrologic character of this area in Wayne County, Mississippi, where the eastern edges of Waynesboro meet a network of rural roads and timberlands. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Meadows Mill Cr and Alexanders Br, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its drainage patterns. Small communities like Denham and the settlement of Tokio serve as local anchors, connected by routes like Highway 84 E.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including Big Rock Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Philadelphus Cem. The presence of Waynesboro Lake and numerous bridges, such as Dyess Bridge and Cedar Bridge, illustrates the infrastructure required to navigate this creek-dissected region. The township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System further organize the landscape into its historical administrative divisions.
