2020 Map of Kossuth North

About this map

Kossuth sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the hills of Alcorn County meet a dense network of creek bottoms. The area is defined by its small, dispersed settlements like Theo, Gift, and Lone Pine, linked by a web of county roads that navigate the complex hydrology of the Tuscumbia River and its many tributaries. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of local heritage, preserving the locations of several burial grounds including Liberty African American Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. The terrain shifts from the elevations of Backbone Point and the Hatchie Hills in the north to the low-lying drainage basins of Underwood Cr and McElroy Cr further south. This 2020 survey illustrates a modern rural landscape where traditional landmarks like Butler Bridge and Pine Mtn remain central to the community's geographic identity.
