2018 Map of Evergreen

About this map

Ballardsville and Evergreen anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Lee and Itawamba counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Boguefala Cr, Boguegaba Cr, and Smith Cr, which carve through the countryside near Richmond. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies numerous small family and community burial grounds that dot the landscape. Notable sites include the Bowlin Family Cem, Orr-Patterson Family Cem, and the Pettigrew Ivy Family Cem. The distribution of these sites, alongside rural landmarks like Wesley Chapel Cem and Andrews Chapel Cem, illustrates the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region, where family landholdings and small church communities remained the primary social organization outside of the larger town of Greenwood.
