2024 Map of Horn Lake

About this map

The northern edge of Mississippi, just south of the Tennessee border, shows a landscape defined by rapid suburban expansion into former rural territory. Communities like Horn Lake and Southaven occupy much of the northern half of the sheet, while the southern reaches near Hernando retain more of their traditional agricultural character. Family history and local heritage are anchored by smaller settlements and community landmarks such as Lynchburg, Barnesville, and Nesbit. The terrain is drained by systems like Horn Lake Creek and Cow Pen Creek, which flow through the undulating lands between established towns. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including the William Henry Johnson Cem and the Edmondson Cem, which remain as historical witnesses amid the growing residential developments of the Memphis periphery.
