2015 Map of Kilmichael

About this map

Kilmichael serves as the central hub of this North Central Mississippi landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes like Vaiden Kilmichael Rd and Castle Rd. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Big Black River and its engineered counterpart, the Big Black River Canal, which cuts through the southern reaches. Numerous small family or community burial grounds, including Stinson Cem near the river and Wilmount Cem further north, suggest long-established family homesteads and rural congregations. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries such as Mulberry Cr, Flowers Cr, and Wolf Cr, which flow into the primary river valley. To the south, the community of Poplar Springs sits near the headwaters of Poplar Cr, illustrating the reliance of these early settlements on the local watershed for both navigation and resources.
