About this map

Tishomingo County Game Refuge dominates the central landscape of this 1950s-era survey, which captures the northeast corner of Mississippi at the Tennessee border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage projects, including the Sevenmile Drainage Canal and Coke Drainage Canal, alongside the transformative presence of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway and Pickwick Lake. These engineering works reflect the era's focus on water management and regional development within the Tishomingo County hills.

Local life is centered around rural landmarks such as Doskie and several country churches, including Shady Grove Church and Grissom Chapel. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for family-named features like Yankee Charlie Hollow and several small burial grounds such as Lambs Chapel Cemetery and Johnson Cemetery. The northern boundary with Hardin County, Tennessee, is marked by Pickwick Reservation, showing the early footprint of the Sandy Creek Subdivision near the lakefront.
