About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway dominates this portion of Mississippi, fundamentally altering the local landscape where the Tombigbee River once meandered naturally. Modern revisions captured in 1990 show the expansion of the Fulton city limits and the sprawling campus of Itawamba Community College. The map preserves the complex hydrologic character of the basin, from the remnant Old River Cutoff to the managed wetlands of the John Bell Williams State Wildlife Management Area.

Rural life in Itawamba County is anchored by numerous small congregations and burial grounds, such as Warren Chapel and Lakeland Ch, which remain key landmarks north of the town center. To the west, the community of Mantachie sits near the headwaters of Mantachie Creek, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the upland ridges of Mt Pisgah. This document serves as a detailed record of the region’s evolution from a river-dependent agricultural area to a more interconnected modern hub.
