2024 Map of Houlka

About this map

Houlka and New Houlka anchor the southeastern portion of this landscape, situated just below the county line dividing Pontotoc and Chickasaw counties. The terrain is defined by the prominent Pontotoc Ridge in the northeast and a complex network of waterways, including the winding Skuna River, Mud Creek, and Chuquatonchee Creek. Rural settlements like Wallfield and Gershorm are scattered throughout the northern sections, connected by a grid of county roads. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map documents several burial grounds such as Indian Creek Cem, Cooke Cem, and the East County Line Cem. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Mississippi tract highlights the area's ongoing agricultural significance and land management patterns.
