2012 Map of Egypt

About this map

Egypt and the small settlement of Black Belt anchor this Chickasaw County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the complex branching of Mattubby Cr and its many tributaries. The area is notable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Valley Cem, Old Union Cem, and Ware Hill Cem, which sit alongside historic road traces like Old Highway 41. The map reveals a rural economy supported by local aviation, marked by both Leuth Flying Service Airport and Ball Airport. The drainage patterns of Sadler Cr, Miller Cr, and Cedar Cr illustrate the natural irrigation of this section of the Mississippi Black Prairie, providing a clear view of the land divisions and secondary roads like Clopton Sykes Rd and Darden Chapel Rd that connect these agricultural communities.
