2018 Map of Magee North

About this map

Magee serves as the primary hub at the southern edge of this landscape, where the topography is defined by the winding paths of Okatoma Cr and Hatchapaloo Cr. The map documents a rural transition between Simpson and Smith counties, showing a pattern of small settlements like Upton and Maddox connected by an extensive network of family-named roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded, including the Pine Grove Baptist Church Cem, Rocky Hill Church Cem, and Shady Grove Cem. The drainage patterns, represented by features such as Dry Creek Br and Thompson Br, illustrate the natural irrigation of this timber-rich region of Mississippi. The dense concentration of cemeteries like New Bethlehem Cem and Gregory Cem near established road junctions suggests long-standing community centers that have persisted through generations of local land use.
