2020 Map of Kossuth South

About this map

Kossuth anchors the northern edge of this landscape where the Hatchie River and Blissdale Swamp define the southern lowlands. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, such as Bragg Mtn and Antioch Hill, which overlook several small, concentrated settlements including Collinstown and Crumtown. This topography influenced the development of local infrastructure, seen in the crossing at Turnpike Bridge and the winding course of Old Stage Rd as it traverses the border between Alcorn, Tippah, and Prentiss counties. Local family history is preserved in several burial grounds, notably Union Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Alcorn Cem, which are situated along the drainage basins of Elliott Cr and Hinkle Cr. The map reveals a rural economy tied to the land, with numerous named hollows like Kellum Hollow and Nancy Hollow tucked between the upland ridges.
