2024 Map of Malone

About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River and its confluence with the Tippah River dominate this portion of the Holly Springs National Forest along the Marshall and Lafayette County line. This modern topographic survey reveals a landscape shaped by water and tradition, where the rural settlements of Malone and Spraggins sit north of the wetlands surrounding Sardis Lake. The area is notably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Asberry Cem, Hamilton Cem, and Ebenezer Cem, many of which are associated with local congregations like the Spring Hill Baptist Church and the Spring Creek Presbyterian Church. These landmarks, along with Dukes Ferry on the river, provide a clear record of the historical crossing points and social hubs that have defined this corner of Mississippi for generations. Further south, the town of Abbeville marks a more concentrated point of development near the bottom of the quadrangle.
