2015 Map of Lamar

About this map

Lamar and Michigan City anchor this northern Mississippi landscape where the state border meets Tennessee. The terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Old Lamar Cem and the Hickory Hill Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in Benton and Marshall Counties. Waterways like the Wolf River and Grays Creek carve through the countryside, influencing the early road patterns such as Allen Corner Rd and Rice Chapel Rd. The presence of numerous small cemeteries, such as Worship Cem and Rynehart Cem, suggests a long-standing community structure where local life centered around these small, scattered hubs. This map preserves the 2015 layout of these rural corridors before further modernization, offering a clear view of the historic land divisions and the original township lines that still govern the area.
