About this map

The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway cuts a modern path through the northeast Mississippi landscape, crossing boundaries where Prentiss, Tishomingo, and Itawamba counties meet. Much of this northern terrain is occupied by the John Bell Williams State Wildlife Mgmt Area, illustrating a transition toward managed conservation and recreation in the late 20th century.

Away from the engineered waterway, the map reveals a traditional network of rural communities centered around small churches and family burial grounds. High points and creek valleys are marked by landmarks like Allens Chapel Ch, Old Bethel Ch, and Red Bud Ch. Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries, including Locust Tree Cem, Rogers Cem, and Caveness Cem, which speak to the area's deep-rooted settlement history along watercourses such as Mackeys Creek and Saucer Creek.
