2012 Map of Lena

About this map

Lena and its surrounding rural communities are presented in this early 21st-century landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects family settlements and local landmarks. The area's history is preserved in its numerous burial grounds, including the centrally located Lena Cem and the more remote Harmony Cem and Cash Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Balucta Creek and Slay Creek, which drain the lowlands between named points like Island Hill. Traces of former transport infrastructure are visible at Sproles Siding, reflecting the area's logistical past. Small hamlets such as Cash, Abdan, and Midway serve as focal points for the scattered homesteads, while Dumas Pond provides a prominent water feature near the center of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries, such as Pilgrim Rest Cem and Trinity Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi.
