2020 Map of Gravel Hill

About this map

The border of Leflore and Carroll counties runs through this landscape defined by high ridges and numerous small cemeteries. The terrain transitions from the flatter lands near the Greenwood Leflore Airport in the northwest toward the more complex topography of Steen Hill and Miller's Hill. This area is characterized by a high density of small family or community burial grounds, such as Centerville Cem, Goss Cem, and Sharkey Pate Cem, indicating a deeply rooted rural settlement pattern. Numerous seasonal waterways, including Abotcaputa Creek and Merrill Branch, drain the hills into larger systems like Coila Creek to the south. Small crossroads settlements like Seven Pines and Gravel Hill serve as local anchors for a network of county roads that navigate the varying elevations.
