About this map

Okolona and the small community of Egypt anchor this portrait of the Mississippi Black Prairie, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks and the agricultural grid. The boundary between Chickasaw Co and Monroe Co runs north to south through the center of the sheet, bisecting a network of rural routes such as Chapel Grove RD and White Rock RD.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Old Union Cem, Baker Cem, Walker Cem, and Ware Hill Cem, which are scattered among the drainage basins of Mattubby Cr and Johnson Cr. The map captures a primarily rural environment with localized infrastructure like Ball Airport near the southern border and the distinct north-south corridor of Alt 45, which bypasses the older town centers to connect the region's larger hubs.
