About this map

The Tuscumbia River Canal defines the northern reaches of this Alcorn County landscape, marking the border between Tennessee and Mississippi. In the early 1980s, this rural area north of Kossuth was characterized by a dense network of creek branches and scattered family settlements. Landmarks like the Pine Mountain Lookout Tower offer a high vantage point over the undulating terrain of the McNairy and Alcorn county line.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous rural landmarks such as Tishomingo Chapel, Mt Pleasant Church, and the Oak Hill Cemetery. Small communities such as Theo, Cuba, and Gift appear alongside specialized land uses like the Gravel Pit near Lick Branch. This detailed survey provides a clear view of the road networks and water features, including Coon Creek and Tarebreeches Creek, as they existed before modern development altered the rural character of this border region.
