2024 Map of Lewisburg

About this map

Lewisburg and Cockrum anchor this agricultural landscape in northern Mississippi, where the headwaters and tributaries of the Coldwater River carve through the terrain. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history through its numerous small burial grounds, such as the Drain Family Cem and the Mills Family Cem. Near the center of the sheet, the settlement of Cockrum serves as a local crossroads, while to the southeast, Ingrams Mill sits along the Pigeon Roost Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle marks the transition at the DeSoto Co Tate Co line. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies scattered landmarks like the New Hope Church Cem and Pryor Cem, preserving the location of rural congregations and family plots that defined the social geography of the region for generations.
