About this map

Pierces Chapel and Shady Grove serve as the primary landmarks in this rural section of Attala County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creek drainages. The hydrology of the region is complex, with Scoobachita Cr, Taylor Cr, and Sugar Cr winding through the western half, while Little Zilpha Cr and Hurricane Cr dominate the east.

For family historians, the area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including New Salem Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and the Pierces Chapel Cem, many of which are situated near old route junctions like New Salem Rd. The map detail captures the transition of historical travel paths into modern county roads, such as Stonewall Rd and Best Line Rd, illustrating the enduring nature of local settlement patterns and property lines.
