2018 Map of Lena

About this map

Lena stands at a central junction in Leake County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads and timbered reaches within the Bienville National Forest. The map documents a predominantly rural geography where small communities like Tuscola, Midway, and Lillian are connected by a web of routes including Grand Ave, Lena-Walnut Grove Rd, and Lena Cash Rd. Numerous family and community landmarks are recorded, such as Robinson Cem, Pilgrim Rest Cem, and the Harmony Cem near Trinity Cem. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Sweetwater Cr and Shockaloo Cr, while prominent local elevations like Island Hill rise above the surrounding creek bottoms and pine stands. This 2018 survey provides a clear view of the modern road system imposed over the traditional settlement patterns of central Mississippi.
