About this map

The boundary between Tippah Co Prentiss Co defines the western edge of this landscape, where the rural communities of Jumpertown and Blackland serve as local hubs. The terrain is a network of small drainages and hills, including the Tippah Hills and the distinctive King Hollow. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of community history, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds such as Morton Chapel Cem, Pauls Chapel Cem, and Wolf Creek Cem.

Water features are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the northern flow of the Hatchie River to the reservoirs of Lake Mohawk and Cox Lake. The settlement pattern follows a grid of county roads, such as Co RD 547 and Eaton RD, which connect the scattered farmsteads and churches like Pisgah to the larger surrounding area. The map illustrates a contemporary Southern landscape where traditional land divisions and family names remain central to the geography.
