2021 Map of Lewisburg

About this map

Lewisburg and the surrounding North Mississippi countryside are defined by the winding course of the Coldwater River and its managed tributaries. This modern survey illustrates the rural landscape near the border of DeSoto and Tate counties, where family legacies are preserved in numerous small burial grounds such as Whites Chapel Cem, Fountain Head Cem, and the Drain Family Cem. The map reveals a transition from traditional settlements like Cockrum and Ingrams Mill to more contemporary residential developments indicated by the dense network of private drives and lanes branching off historical routes like Byhalia Rd. Water management is a prominent theme, visible in the straightened segments of the Byhalia Creek Canal and Red Banks Creek Canal, which facilitate drainage across the low-lying plains near the Co Line Rd.
