About this map

Falkner and the northern edge of Ripley anchor this modern topographical study of Tippah County, revealing a landscape defined by traditional southern cemeteries and the conservation boundaries of the Holly Springs National Forest. The terrain is shaped by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including the North Prong Muddy Creek and Fourmile Branch, which feeds into the Tippah County Lake. Local history is preserved through a dense network of burial grounds, from family plots like the Johnson Family Cem and the Nance Graveyard to larger congregational sites such as Mount Moriah Baptist Church Cem.

Industry and transport are represented by the Gfi RR corridor, which runs north-south through the center of the sheet alongside major local arteries. High points like Lindsey Mtn and Wicker Mtn offer relief from the drainage basins of Turkey Creek and Walnut Creek. This survey provides a precise accounting of the intersection between public forest land, private holdings, and the enduring landmarks of the Falkner community.
