2021 Map of Evergreen

About this map

Ballardsville and the surrounding rural communities of Lee and Itawamba counties are defined by a network of small creeks and family burial grounds in this modern topographic survey. The landscape is dissected by numerous waterways including Boguegaba Cr, Boguefala Cr, and Coupenna Cr, which influence the winding paths of the local road system. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local history here, as the map meticulously labels numerous small cemeteries such as Pettigrew-Ivy Family Cem, Bowlin Family Cem, and Orr-Patterson Family Cem. While the settlements of Richmond and Evergreen serve as local hubs, the prevalence of chapel-associated sites like Wesley Chapel Cem and Andrews Chapel Cem points to the area's long-standing community structure rooted in local congregations and family landholdings.
