About this map

Iuka serves as the focal point of this northeast Mississippi landscape, where the town's grid meets the Kansas City Southern railroad line. The surrounding Tishomingo County terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Indian Cr and Little Cripple Deer Cr, which carve through a series of named hollows and ridges. Notable elevations like Woodall Mtn and Ashcraft Mtn rise above the valleys, providing a varied topography that has shaped local development and transit routes.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites and small settlements. Scattered throughout the countryside are numerous landmarks such as Moores Chapel Cem, Oak Grove Cem, and Mt Gilead Cem, alongside smaller communities like Bacon Springs and Pinedale. The presence of the Iuka Airport and the rail corridor at Blythe Crossing illustrates the area's continued role as a regional transportation node.
