2020 Map of Longtown

About this map

Longtown and the surrounding rural landscapes of Tate and Panola counties are defined by a dense network of local roads and winding waterways. The community of Longtown sits near its namesake Longtown Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural lands. To the north, the settlement of Crockett and the small crossroads at Cypress Corner anchor a terrain crisscrossed by numerous streams, including Strayhorn Cr and the larger Arkabutla Creek. Several historic burial sites, such as Salem Cem, Askew Grove Cem, and Mcgeehees Chapel Cem, are preserved across the quadrangle, reflecting the established family networks of this North Mississippi region. The drainage patterns of Butterbowl Creek and Patent Cr reveal the natural topography that has influenced the placement of longstanding homesteads and connector routes like Brownsferry Rd and Tate Panola Rd.
