2015 Map of Houston East

About this map

Bynum Mounds and the historical corridor of the Natchez Trace Pkwy anchor this landscape in Chickasaw County, where ancient indigenous sites meet modern conservation. The eastern reaches of Houston transition into the protected woodlands of the Tombigbee National Forest, a terrain marked by prominent rises like Witch Dance Hill and Ross Hill. The map reveals a dense network of country roads connecting small settlements like Van Vleet and Parkersburg, alongside numerous family and community burial grounds including Concord Cem, Asbury Cem, and McKinnon Cem. These features, combined with the winding paths of Soctahoma Cr and Dicks Cr, illustrate a rural Mississippi landscape defined by its deep historical layers and the persistent importance of its creeks and timberlands.
