About this map

Carmack and Hesterville anchor this detailed study of rural Attala County, where a dense network of county roads connects numerous small family and community burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Big Black River along the western boundary and the headwaters of several local drainages, including Zilpha Creek and Sharkey Cr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of scattered cemeteries such as Unity Cem, Sweet Pilgrim Cem, and Smyrna Cem, which highlight the historical settlement patterns of this region. The map also records the location of Possumneck in the southwest, situated near the confluence of Sharkey Cr and Little Sharkey Cr. This modern survey provides a precise look at the township and range system across this part of Mississippi, including the intersections of many established local routes like Old State Hwy 35.
