2015 Map of Malone

About this map

Abbeville sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the town grid meets the rural reaches of the Holly Springs National Forest. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Tippah River and its tributaries, including Little Spring Cr and Big Spring Cr, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward the Marshall and Lafayette county line. This map documents a quiet, sparsely populated region where life revolves around small settlements like Malone and Spraggins and a network of gravel and paved roads including Old Oxford Rd and Bethlehem Rd. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Ebenezer Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Asberry Cem, often located near crossroads or church sites. The drainage patterns of Graham Mill Creek and Lee Cr further illustrate the water-rich environment of north-central Mississippi.
