2010 Map of Doskie

About this map

Greenwater Marina and the winding course of Yellow Creek define the eastern edge of this landscape near the Mississippi-Tennessee border. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, including Sorghum Hollow, Gray Hollow, and the uniquely named Yankee Charlie Ridge. Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its high density of rural burial grounds, ranging from Lambs Chapel Cemetery and Blackard Cemetery in the west to North Cross Roads Cemetery and Old Pleasant Hill Cemetery further east. Water features like Chalybeate Spring and Blue Bill Spring suggest a landscape shaped by natural springs and numerous small tributaries, such as Leitch Mill Branch and Little Yellow Creek, which drain the varied topography of this borderland region in the early 21st century.
