2012 Map of Linwood

About this map

The crossroads community of Linwood serves as a focal point in this portion of Mississippi, where the landscape is defined by its deep roots in agricultural and rural life. The terrain is crisscrossed by several winding waterways, including Cypress Cr and Burg Cr, which have historically shaped local settlement patterns and land use. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Ellison Cem, Blaylock Cem, and Pickett Cem. These sites, often situated near minor rural roads like Odum Rd and Vaughan Rd, provide a physical link to the area's early residents. Landmarks such as the Midway Lookout Tower near Evans and the Linwood Airport underscore the mix of traditional forestry management and modern rural infrastructure present in the early 21st century.
