About this map

Crockett and Linwood anchor the northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects scattered residential clusters and family farms. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including Strayhorn Cr and the larger Arkabutla Cr to the east. These streams dictated the placement of early settlements and the subsequent road network that follows the local topography.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial sites, such as Longtown Cem near the southern border and Salem Cem located more centrally. The presence of McGehees Chapel Cem reflects the area's rural religious heritage. From Cypress Corner to the crossroads at Parkplace, the map documents a transition into the early 21st century, showing how modern infrastructure like Tate-Panola Rd overlies the historical layout of this part of Tate County.
