About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River meanders through the center of this landscape, its floodplain punctuated by numerous fish hatcheries and wetlands. To the west, the dense timber of the Holly Springs National Forest dominates the terrain, where small settlements like Etta and Pinedale sit along the county line. The map captures a rural Mississippi community defined by its proximity to water and woods, showing a network of country churches and burial grounds such as Salem Ch and Pisgah Cem.

Industry and utility are represented by several sandpits and a major pipeline corridor that cuts across the southern section. Further east, the village of Enterprise and the West Union Sch serve as local hubs, while Mud Creek and Lappatubby Creek drain the eastern hills. This 1980 survey shows the area's transition into the late 20th century, retaining its agrarian roots with scattered farmsteads and family-named landmarks like Darden Lake.
