About this map

Longtown and the rural communities of northern Mississippi are detailed here during the mid-2010s, revealing a landscape defined by small settlements and winding creek beds. The area is characterized by its numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks, including the Longtown Cem and McGehees Chapel Cem situated south of Parksplace. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with Strayhorn Cr and the E Br Strayhorn Cr flowing through the northern reaches near Linwood.

A network of country roads, such as Browns Ferry Rd and Tate Panola Rd, connects these agricultural hubs across the Tate Co Panola Co line. The map captures a moment when traditional naming conventions persist, from the settlement at Crockett to the smaller crossroads of Cypress Corner. Researchers can trace the proximity of these early settlements to water sources like Butterbowl Cr and Arkabutla Cr, reflecting the region's long-standing reliance on its natural drainage systems.
