2012 Map of Dixie

About this map

Dixie serves as the focal point of this South Mississippi landscape, where rural road networks and creek drainages define the community's structure. The area is marked by a high concentration of family-named roads and burial sites, including Clark Cem, Dixie Cem, and Mineral Springs Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for local genealogical research. Water features heavily in the local geography, with Black Tom Cr and Tan Trough Cr winding through the terrain toward Black Creek. The presence of several private or recreational water bodies like Sumrall Lake, Elks Lake, and Beaver Lake suggests a shift toward residential and leisure land use in the early 21st century. The map detail highlights the fine-grained road system, from the arterial Old US Hwy 98 E to localized paths like Dixie Church Rd and Tatum Camp Rd, reflecting a landscape that balances traditional rural homesteads with modern infrastructure developments.
