About this map

The Yalobusha River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Fourmile Cr and Mud Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Chickasaw County landscape. In the southeastern corner, the city of Houston serves as a regional hub, where the Houston Byp facilitates modern transit alongside established corridors like Okolona Cutoff Rd. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small, named localities such as Thelma, Thorn, and Holladay, each connected by an extensive system of county roads that follow the rise and fall of the terrain.

Aeronautical activity is centered at the Houston Municipal Airport, while smaller water bodies like Simpson Lake and Fair Cr punctuate the rural stretches between Hall and Pyland. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, specifically covering T12S through T14S, which is invaluable for researchers tracing land ownership and genealogy across these North Mississippi sections.
