About this map

Howard and the surrounding rural landscape of Holmes County are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements in this 2012 study. The area is intersected by Black Cr and Harland Cr, with the prominent Hillside Levee Rd bordering the western edge of the quadrangle. Small clusters of habitation and historical memory are scattered throughout, including Tolarville, Eulogy, and Blissdale, which serve as quiet nodes in the local road network.

Genealogical researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the terrain. These range from Old Rankin Cem in the north to Meggs Cem in the south, alongside others like Tredwell Cem and Watson Cem. The infrastructure is primarily rural, consisting of local routes such as Thornton Tolarsville Rd and Ebenezer Coxburg Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of this part of Mississippi.
