About this map

Yellow Creek snakes northward through the borderlands of Alcorn and Tishomingo counties, defining the lower reaches of this Tennessee River valley landscape. Near the Mississippi-Tennessee state line, the widening waters of Pickwick Lake reach into Chalk Hollow, while the Sandy Creek Subdivision marks modern residential development along the shore. The terrain is deeply carved by countless small drainages like McMinn Br and Sevenmile Cr, which separate named elevations such as Scotch Hill and the curiously named Yankee Charlie Ridge.

Genealogists will find a dense distribution of rural burial grounds scattered among the hollows, including Bethel Cem, Salem Cem, and Lambs Chapel Cem. Small communities like Doskie and Pine Flat serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county roads that navigate the intricate topography of Gray Hollow and Barnes Hollow. The area near Cross Roads and the North Cross Roads Cem illustrates the enduring settlement patterns found throughout this pocket of the Deep South.
