About this map

Mooreville and Ballardsville anchor the northern reaches of this landscape, where the rolling hills of eastern Mississippi meet the Lee Co and Itawamba Co line. The terrain is deeply inscribed by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Boguefala Creek, Leeper Creek, and Wolf Creek, which together define the drainage patterns of the region. This 2024 survey reveals a rural area defined more by its ancestral burial grounds and small settlements like Richmond and Evergreen than by large-scale urban development.

Genealogists will find exceptional value in the proliferation of family-named landmarks across the townships. Scattered throughout the various sections are sites like the Pettigrew Ivy Family Cem, Bowlin Family Cem, and Orr Patterson Family Cem. These sites, along with established community centers like Palestine Baptist Church Cem and Wesley Chapel Cem, provide a clear picture of the enduring family networks that have shaped this portion of Mississippi for generations.
