About this map

Rural Hill and Hinze serve as the primary crossroads in this rural landscape where Attala, Choctaw, and Winston counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries, including Lobutcha Creek, Turkey Creek, and McQuirter Creek, which weave through the timberlands and open acreage. The geography is notably shaped by the Farm Service Agency Interest of Mississippi land holdings, which occupy a significant portion of the southern quadrants.

For family historians, the area is rich with ancestral landmarks. A high density of country burial grounds, such as Hopewell Baptist Church Cem, Doty Springs Cem, and Macedonia Cem, are scattered across the township lines. These sites, alongside smaller plots like the Vowell Cem and Hinze Cem, reflect the dispersed nature of the local settlement and the importance of church-centered communities in this part of central Mississippi.
