1989 Map of Four Corners

About this map

Four Corners sits at the intersection of Attala, Winston, Neshoba, and Leake counties, marking a significant geographic meeting point in central Mississippi. This late-1980s landscape is defined by its rural density, where family-named landmarks and country churches like Bethlehem Ch and New Ebenezer Ch anchor the community history. The terrain is deeply carved by water systems such as Bibalucia Creek and Labutcha Creek, while higher elevations like the Smallwood Hills provide vantage points once utilized by the Mars Hill Lookout. Scattered settlements like Zama and Alice are connected by a network of unimproved roads and light-duty paths, reflecting a traditional southern rural development pattern. Researchers can find numerous small burial grounds, including Kelley Cem and Shields Cem, which offer essential clues for tracing local genealogy within this multi-county borderland.
