2018 Map of Kossuth South

About this map

Kossuth anchors the northern edge of this North Mississippi landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks begin their descent through the hills. This survey illustrates a rural interior defined by family-named heights and hollows, such as Elam Ridge and Kellum Hollow. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the westward-flowing Hatchie River and its associated Blissdale Swamp, a significant natural drainage feature for the region. Small rural centers like Crumtown, Hightown, and Collinstown are connected by a network of county roads, showing the persistent settlement patterns of Alcorn County. Genealogists will find particular value in the placement of Union Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Alcorn Cem, while the Turnpike Bridge crossing Little Clear Cr suggests historical transit routes through the lowlands.
