About this map

New Houlka and the neighboring settlement of Houlka anchor the southeastern portion of this landscape, situated just south of the Pontotoc and Chickasaw county line. The region is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Skuna River, Chuquatonchee Cr, and Huckleberry Cr, which carve through the terrain. Numerous family and community burial sites, such as Indian Creek Cem, Cooke Cem, and East County Line Cem, are scattered throughout the rural landscape, providing critical points of interest for genealogical research.

Local transport is facilitated by an extensive system of county roads, including Wallfield Rd and Beckham Rd, which connect smaller locales like Gershorm and Wallfield. The presence of Little Houlka Cr and Fourmile Cr suggests a well-watered agricultural or timber-rich environment typical of this part of Mississippi. The transition from the town grid of Houlka to the more dispersed homesteads near Williams Cem illustrates the shifting settlement patterns of the early twenty-first century.
