About this map

Ethel sits at the northern edge of this Attala County landscape, where the Yockanookany River winds through the bottomlands. The settlement patterns of this rural Mississippi region are deeply rooted in its community burial grounds and small hamlets. Providence serves as a southern anchor, centered around the Providence Cem, while several other family and community cemeteries are distributed across the terrain, including Harmony Cem, Carson Ridge Cem, and Tabernacle Cem.

A network of local roads and creek systems, such as Turkey Cr and Conehoma Cr, connects these historic sites. The map documents the persistent rural character of the area, featuring named landmarks like Mount Moriah Cem and Ebenezer Cem that have served local residents for generations. The topography is defined by its drainages, with Archie Cr and Kyle Cr carving through the countryside south of the river.
