About this map

Sardis Lake dominates the southern landscape of this northern Mississippi region, where the shoreline of the reservoir meets a network of small creeks and rural cemeteries. The community of Abbeville is situated in the southeastern corner, serving as a primary point of interest with its own Abbeville Cem and established road network including W Long St. Further north, the settlement of Laws Hill acts as a central hub for the upland areas, connected by several rural routes such as Laws Hill Rd and Law Hill Chulahoma Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, including Mount Moriah Cem, Wyatt Cem, and New Hope Cem. The topography is defined by the drainages of Blackwater Cr and Oak Chewalla Cr, which feed into the larger reservoir system. The map also records smaller localities like Blackwater and geographical markers such as Piney Point.
