About this map

Hesterville and Carmack anchor this 2020 landscape in the hills of northern Attala County, where the Big Black River forms the western boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small streams, including Zilpha Creek and Sharkey Cr, which carve through the rural countryside. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of homesteads and small farming communities that are now marked primarily by their cemeteries and quiet county roads.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Smyrna Cem, Mayo Cem, and Sweet Pilgrim Cem. The map traces the winding paths of several local thoroughfares, including Hesterville Rd and Rocky Point Rd, connecting the scattered settlements. The presence of features like North Union Cem and Sand Hill Cem reflects a deeply rooted rural history centered around long-standing local landmarks.
