About this map

The Holly Springs National Forest dominates the western landscape of this 2000 revision, marking a region where public timberlands meet the small-scale agricultural life of North Mississippi. The Little Tallahatchie River cuts through the center, flanked by the Darden Hills and a network of named waterways including Lappatubby Creek and Mud Creek. These creek bottoms and ridges are dotted with established rural landmarks, from the West Union Sch to community centers like Enterprise and Pinedale.

Genealogists will find considerable value in the density of religious and burial sites recorded here, such as Pisgah Cem, Friendship Cem, and Pleasantdale Ch. The map also captures the varied land use of the era, from the specialized Fish Hatchery and small Landing Strip to the industrial path of the Pipeline crossing the eastern bottoms. The survey clearly delineates the meeting points of Lafayette, Union, and Pontotoc counties, providing a precise spatial context for local families near the Chickasaw Meridian.
