2014 Map of Harrisburg

About this map

Harrisburg serves as the focal point of this Poinsett County landscape, showing its organized street grid and proximity to the regional water network. To the east, the terrain transitions into the lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, marked by the agricultural community of Whitaker. Significant water features like Lake Poinsett and the Poinsett Watershed Site Three Reservoir dominate the southern half of the map, illustrating the importance of water management and recreation to the local area. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a valuable resource for locating family burial grounds, including the Harris Cem, Holly Springs Cem, and Farm Hill Cem. The land is dissected by numerous branches and creeks, such as Holly Springs Br and Distress Cr, which follow the natural contours of the ridge before spilling into the flatter eastern plains.
