About this map

Dumas and the surrounding rural landscapes of Tippah County are documented here through a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Little Hatchie River and the Hatchie River, which carve through the undulating topography of Kelley Hill and Sadler Hills. This survey highlights the region's historical reliance on these waterways and their numerous tributaries, such as Gossett Br and Smith Br.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including Pine Grove and Mitchell. The map identifies nearly twenty burial sites, ranging from Paynes Chapel Cem and Mount Olive Cem to smaller family plots like Boyd Cem and Boxs Cem. These sites, along with the alignment of local routes like Dale Earnhart RD and Co RD 600, provide a clear picture of the settlement patterns and social geography of this portion of northern Mississippi.
