About this map

The boundary between Leflore Co Carroll Co divides the rolling interior of Carroll County from the more developed western flats in this early 1980s landscape. Small rural communities like Gravel Hill and Valley Hill anchor a territory marked by family-named hills and numerous family burial grounds. The prevalence of features such as Sharkey Pate Cem, McMillian Cem, and Harland Cem provides an invaluable resource for researchers tracing local genealogies and settlement patterns.

The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and the Greenwood-Leflore Airport highlights the intersection of local resource extraction and modern infrastructure. Waterways such as Pelucia Creek and Abotcaputa Creek wind through the hills, while landmarks like Mt Arat Ch and Smith Chapel Cem serve as focal points for the rural community. The map also records unique details such as the Flowing Well and the Compressor Station, illustrating the region's diverse industrial and natural character.
