2018 Map of Kirkville

About this map

The Pharr Mounds stand as a significant ancient landmark on this landscape, located along the Natchez Trace Parkway near the border of Prentiss and Itawamba Counties. This region in northeast Mississippi is defined by its complex waterway network, where the Tombigbee River flows past Ferguson Lake and Beaver Lake. The settlement of Kirkville serves as a local hub, surrounded by family and community landmarks such as Kirkville Cem and Gilmore Chapel Cem. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including Ozark Cem and Pleasant Valley Cem. To the east, Sandy Springs and Warren Cem sit near the winding course of Mackeys Creek. The map also documents historical crossings like Walkers Bridge and the open terrain of Pharr Flats, illustrating the enduring intersection of ancient history and modern rural life.
