2015 Map of Falkner

About this map

Tippah County Lake and the northeastern corner of Ripley anchor this survey of north-central Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Muddy Creek system, including the N Prong Muddy Cr and W Prong Muddy Cr, which drain the eastern reaches of the Holly Springs National Forest. The map reveals a high density of small rural burial grounds, such as Old Mount Zion Cem, McCowan Cem, and Johnson Cem, which serve as critical markers for genealogical research in this part of Tippah County. To the east, the terrain rises toward Lindsey Mtn and Wicker Mtn, while the settlement of Falkner serves as a local hub along the primary north-south road corridor. This area reflects a quiet, enduring rural structure where family-named landmarks like Polk Cem and Nance Cem persist alongside the managed timberlands and creek bottoms.
