About this map

The town of Falkner serves as the focal point for this landscape in northern Tippah County, where the topography transitions from the wooded uplands of the Holly Springs National Forest in the west to the fertile creek bottoms of the east. This 2000 revision documents a deeply established rural community defined by its network of churches and family cemeteries. Significant landmarks include Bethlehem Ch, Walnut Creek Ch, and Pine Hill Ch, alongside numerous burial sites such as McCown Cem and Ruckerville Cem.

Transport and commerce are evidenced by the rail-side points of Campbell Siding and Howell Siding near the larger settlement of Ripley. The presence of several Sandpit operations and the County Lake recreation area, complete with a Boat Ramp, illustrate the local economy's reliance on both natural resources and managed water features. This record provides a clear view of the area's development before the turn of the millennium, following the drainage of Muddy Creek and its many tributaries.
