About this map

Dumas and the surrounding Tippah County uplands are defined by a complex network of creeks feeding into the Hatchie River and Little Hatchie River. The landscape is scattered with small settlements and numerous cemeteries that reflect the area's deep-rooted rural community life. Significant burial grounds such as Mount Olive Cem, Westminster Cem, and Paynes Chapel Cem are tucked among the hills, often near minor tributaries like Jennings Br and Mitchell Br.

South of the Kelley Hill area, the terrain is marked by named drainage basins including Gus Bottom and Shackelford Br. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes Dumas Lake and the settlement of Pine Grove, where Pine Grove Cem and Boxs Cem serve as landmarks. The density of family and church-affiliated cemeteries makes this a vital record of local genealogy within the wooded ridges of northern Mississippi.
