2012 Map of Houlka

About this map

Houlka anchors the southeastern portion of this landscape, where a grid of local streets meets the surrounding rural road network. The terrain is defined by a dense web of waterways including the Skuna River, Houlka Cr, and Chuquatonchee Cr. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early settlements like Gershorm and Wallfield, which appear as small crossroads communities. Small family and community burial sites are scattered throughout the region, such as Indian Creek Cem, Cooke Cem, and Williams Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The map illustrates a transition from the structured town plan of Houlka to the winding country routes like Redland Sarepta Rd and Cooke Rd that traverse the creeks and ridges of the Chickasaw and Pontotoc county borderlands.
