2024 Map of Dumas

About this map

Dumas serves as a primary settlement in this rural Tippah County landscape, where the headwaters of the Little Hatchie River and Hatchie River carve through the terrain. The map reveals a high density of country burial grounds and small community hubs, such as Mitchell and Pine Grove, which are connected by a network of local roads including Dale Earnhart Rd and various county routes. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by landmarks like Kelley Hill and Sadler Hills, alongside numerous family-named cemeteries such as Jeter Cem, Walker Cem, and Chapman Cem. The drainage patterns, defined by branches like Shackelford Branch and Wingo Branch, show how the local topography influenced the placement of farms and small settlements. This survey provides a modern accounting of these enduring rural landmarks, from the Boxs Chapel Cem in the east to the Westminister Cem in the northwest.
