About this map

Okolona sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the prairie begins to transition into the creek-carved lowlands of the Mississippi Black Prairie. The settlement of Egypt serves as a southern anchor, located along the rail corridor that bisects the region. The map reveals a rural geography defined by the winding paths of Mattubby Cr and its tributaries, including Sadler Cr and Cowpen Cr, which dictate the placement of roads and farmsteads.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, such as Old Union Cem, Ware Hill Cem, and Baker Cem, often located near crossroads or along family-named routes like McAllister Rd. The border between Chickasaw Co and Monroe Co runs vertically through the center of the sheet, illustrating how these administrative boundaries intersect with the natural drainage patterns of the Little Cr and Jolly Cr watersheds.
