2018 Map of Maben

About this map

The Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the northwest corner of this region where the borders of Webster, Clay, Choctaw, and Oktibbeha counties converge. This rural landscape is defined by its small crossroads settlements and numerous community burial grounds, including the Marvin Hill Cem and Providence Cem. The town of Mathiston is visible on the western edge, while the village of Cumberland sits to the north, linked by a network of county roads like Co RD 278. Waterways such as Pigeon Roost Cr and Biba Wila Cr drain the undulating terrain, eventually feeding into larger systems like the Big Black River. The presence of several distinct church and family cemeteries near Lake Tuckaway reflects a long-established pattern of local settlement and genealogical history in this part of Mississippi.
