2015 Map of Lewisburg

About this map

Lewisburg and Cockrum anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, where the Coldwater River and its intricate network of tributaries define the terrain. The area is characterized by small, established communities and a significant density of family-oriented burial grounds, including the Drain Family Cem and Mills Family Cem, which offer valuable points of reference for genealogists. The presence of Valden Landing Airport and the Holloway Bridge indicates how the local transportation infrastructure has adapted to the winding river system. Water management is evident through the Byhalia Creek Canal and Red Banks Creek Canal, showing a history of land use and drainage efforts in the region. Towards the south, the boundary between DeSoto and Tate counties marks a transition near Alphaba, while the winding courses of Pigeon-Roost Creek and Beartail Cr dominate the local hydrology.
