About this map

Kossuth anchors the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the headwaters of Kossuth Creek and Mills Creek begin their drainage. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Elam Ridge and Kellum Hollow, which influence the local road patterns and historical settlement clusters. Further south, small communities like Crumtown, Collinstown, and Hightown are situated among prominent heights such as Crow Mountain and Bragg Mountain.

The southwestern portion of the map transitions into the low-lying reaches of the Hatchie River and the significant Blissdale Swamp. This area marks the convergence of county lines between Alcorn, Tippah, and Prentiss. Researchers will find several established burial grounds, including Union Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem, along with the winding path of Old Stage Rd crossing the southern boundary. The presence of these named hills and family-centered landmarks provides a clear look at the rural geography of northern Mississippi.
