2018 Map of Keownville

About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River meanders across the center of this terrain, marking the rural heart of Union and Tippah Counties. Small settlements and crossroad communities like Keownville and Molino are scattered throughout the landscape, connected by an intricate network of county roads. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of local heritage, documenting numerous burial sites such as Mount Olivet Cem, Wells Chapel Cem, and Locust Grove Cem. The northern portion of the sheet features the Tippah and Union county line, while the southern edge touches the outskirts of New Albany. Numerous creeks, including Smith Cr, Cane Cr, and Wilhite Cr, feed into the river valley, illustrating the hydrologic structure that once dictated the placement of early homesteads and family farms in this region of northern Mississippi.
