2015 Map of Kossuth South

About this map

Kossuth and its surrounding communities in Alcorn County are mapped here in the modern era, revealing a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Hatchie River and its numerous tributaries. The geography is characterized by named ridges and peaks such as Elam Ridge, Crum Mtn, and Hancock Hill, which separate the various creek valleys. A notable local landmark is the Crum B. Mayney Orch situated near Crumtown. Genealogists will find value in the location of several rural burial grounds, including Union Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Alcorn Cem. The map traces a network of small settlements and crossing points like Ross Crossing, Collins Crossing, and Hightown, while the Turnpike Bridge spans the river to the south. This area, where the boundaries of Alcorn, Tippah, and Prentiss counties converge, maintains its character as a region of dispersed homesteads and small-scale agriculture connected by a dense web of county roads.
