About this map

Fulton serves as the focal point of this Itawamba County landscape, anchored by the Itawamba County Courthouse and the sprawling campus of Itawamba Community College. The settlement pattern is defined by the winding course of the Tishomingo River and the broad wetlands of the Old River Cutoff, which create a distinct north-south corridor of bottomlands. To the northwest, the town of Mantachie sits near the headwaters of Mantachie Creek, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as Buster Bean Rd and Thrasher Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites across the ridges, including Warren Chapel Cem, Mount Pisgah Cem, and the Files Cem near New Hope Church Rd. The transition from the developed streets of the county seat to the agricultural and wooded townships of t8s r8e and t9s r9e highlights the enduring rural character of northeast Mississippi. Notable landmarks like the Water Plant and various named drainages like Mud Creek and Tishomingo Creek further detail the local geography.
