About this map

Fulton and the surrounding rural communities of Clay, Fairview, and Tremont characterize this part of Itawamba County. The landscape is defined by its many small cemeteries and family-named landmarks, such as Hillcrest Cem near the town center and Mount Pleasant Cem further north. This pattern of small, localized burial grounds like Benefield Cem, Martin Cem, and Lentz Cem suggests a history of tight-knit rural settlements centered around family land and local congregations.

A network of creeks, including Hurricane Cr, Little Briar Cr, and Gum Cr, drains the varied topography leading toward Bull Mountain in the southeast. While modern routes like Old Hwy 25 and Old Hwy 78 provide connectivity, the map preserves the names of numerous local corridors such as Sellers Cromeans Rd and Dulaney Wilemon Rd, which likely reflect the early families who settled this corner of Mississippi.
