2012 Map of Dumas

About this map

Dumas and Pine Grove anchor this portion of Tippah County, where the headwaters of the Hatchie River and Little Hatchie River carve a dense network of creek valleys. The landscape is defined by its rural community centers and numerous family and church burial grounds, such as Paynes Chapel Cem, Westminister Cem, and Turners Chapel Cem. A prominent topographical feature, Kelley Hill, rises above the bottomlands where Mitchell Br and Neely Br converge. The presence of the Tippah County Lookout Tower near Smith Br suggests the importance of forest management in this timber-heavy region. Tracing the county road network reveals the historic connectivity between small settlements like Mitchell and the low-lying Gus Bottom to the north.
