About this map

The rolling woodlands and creek valleys of Attala County are defined by a network of rural churches and family cemeteries in the early 1960s. Waterways like Zilpha Creek and its tributary Little Zilpha Creek cut through the northern terrain, while Scoobachita Creek and Sugar Creek drain the western reaches. This landscape reflects a deeply established agrarian community, where landmarks such as New Salem Ch and Pilgrim Rest Ch serve as central gathering points for dispersed farmsteads.

Local industry is represented by several labeled Sandpit locations, indicating the extraction of local resources. For genealogists and local historians, the specific mapping of burial grounds like Oak Grove Ch Cem, Macedonia Cem, and Smyrna Ch Cem provides essential spatial data for locating family sites within the hills. A single Radio Tower in the south near Little Apookta Creek signals the subtle introduction of modern infrastructure into this traditional Mississippi landscape.
