About this map

Pierces Chapel and New Salem anchor this rural landscape in Attala County, defined by a dense network of country cemeteries and small watercourses. The topography is shaped by the drainage of Scoobachita Creek and Sugar Creek, which feed into the larger river systems of central Mississippi. This area maintains a strong connection to its pioneer and family roots, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Smyrna Cemetery and Oak Ridge Cemetery.

Transportation patterns follow a mix of modern county routes and older corridors, most notably the presence of Old Trace Road in the southeast corner, reflecting the deep historical transit history of the region. Small settlements like Shady Grove are positioned along these rural arteries, surrounded by tributaries such as Little Zilpha Creek and Hurricane Creek. The map provides a clear view of the land divisions and road networks that have supported these small farming and timber communities for generations.
