2018 Map of Howard

About this map

Fannegusha Creek and Black Creek wind through the northern lowlands of this Holmes County landscape, where the alluvial plain meets the rising hill country. Small, persistent settlements such as Tolarville, Eulogy, and Blissdale are connected by a network of rural routes including Thornton Tolarville Rd and Queenie M Johnson Rd. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named burial sites like Old Rankin Cem, Boatwright Cem, and Tredwell Cem. The terrain is defined by the drainages of Harland Creek and Moccasin Cr, which carve through the elevations south of Howard. This modern survey preserves the locations of local landmarks and community centers such as Pine Grove and the Oak Grove Cem along Oak Grove Rd, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of central Mississippi.
