2015 Map of Hesterville

About this map

Hesterville and Carmack anchor this 2015 survey of central Mississippi, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve a complex drainage pattern through Attala and Carroll counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Black River along the western edge and a dense network of watercourses including Zilpha Cr, Sharkey Cr, and Scoobachita Cr. This modern topographic study reveals a deeply established rural cemetery network that provides invaluable data for genealogical research, with family and community sites such as Mayo Cem, Smyrna Cem, and Guess Cem scattered across the township lines. The settlement at Possumneck and the landmark of Mount Herman highlight the persistent rural character of this region, while the transition from paved routes like MS 19 to local unpaved roads illustrates the enduring infrastructure of the Mississippi interior.
