2015 Map of Kirkville

About this map

The Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail winds through the hills of Mississippi, crossing the county line between Prentiss Co and Itawamba Co. This modern topographic perspective reveals the intersection of ancient history and 21st-century infrastructure, notably the preservation of the Pharr Mounds and Pharr Flats near the parkway's path. The settlement of Kirkville sits at the western edge, while the wide channel of the Tombigbee River and the waters of Ferguson Lake dominate the southern landscape. For genealogists, the map is a primary reference for rural burial sites, including the Kirkville Cem, Gilmore Chapel Cem, and the Ozark Cem located near Ozark Baptist Church. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries like Donivan Creek and Twentymile Creek that feed into the river valley.
