About this map

The Skuna River and its numerous tributaries, including Buck Br and Mud Cr, dominate the drainage patterns of this Mississippi landscape. The area straddles the Pontotoc Co Chickasaw Co line, with the twin settlements of Houlka and New Houlka serving as the primary centers of population in the south. To the north, the smaller community of Gershorm and the locality of Wallfield sit near the headwaters of Chuquatonchee Cr.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Cooke Cem in the northwest and East County Line Cem near the eastern edge. A dense network of rural routes, including Redland Sarepta RD and Wallfield RD, connects these outlying homes and farms to the larger river valleys. The topography is defined by the subtle ridges separating the various forks of Houlka Cr, reflecting the region's agricultural character.
