2018 Map of Lamar

About this map

Lamar and Michigan City anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, situated where the rural ridges of Benton County meet the Tennessee state line. The area is defined by its numerous family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Notable sites include Old Lamar Cem, Rice Chapel Cem, and Hickory Hill Cem, which are scattered throughout the township lines of T1S and T2S. The drainage patterns of the Wolf River and its tributaries, such as Early Grove Cr and Grays Cr, shape the terrain. A prominent feature in the northeast corner is Mosquito Bend, where the river winds through low-lying wetlands. This documentation of the late 2010s shows a landscape still characterized by its original land survey sections and an extensive network of secondary roads like H Williams RD and Jeffries City RD.
