2020 Map of Improve

About this map

Improve sits at the heart of this landscape along the border of Lamar and Marion counties, serving as a central point for a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The area is defined by its numerous burial grounds, such as Watts Cem and Rose Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. The terrain is intricately carved by small waterways including Upper Little Cr, Beaver Dam Cr, and the Rocky Branch. Many of the roads, such as Old Sebe Watts Rd and W Baylis Chapel Rd, appear tied to the families and churches that established these communities. Notable historical markers like the Old Rocky Branch Cem and Baylis Chapel Cem indicate long-standing settlements that have persisted through generations of land use.
