About this map

The hills of northeast Mississippi, where Itawamba, Tishomingo, and Prentiss counties meet, are characterized by a network of family-named cemeteries and rural congregations. During this mid-century period, the Natchez Trace Pkwy Under Construction cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle, marking a modern transition for this landscape. The terrain is deeply carved by watercourses like Mackeys Creek and Red Bud Creek, which supported early local industry at sites such as Moores Mill.

For those researching family history, the map provides a dense record of community anchors. These include established centers like Salem Ch and Sandy Springs, along with smaller burial grounds such as Castleberry Cem and Allens Chapel Cem. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the North Fork and Chubby Cr, where isolated churches like Walker House Cem Ch served as the focal points for dispersed farmsteads.
