2000 Map of Malone

About this map

The Tallahatchie Experimental Forest and Holly Springs National Forest dominate this north Mississippi landscape, where the Little Tallahatchie River and Tippah River converge into the expansive waters of Little Sardis Lake. This 2000 revision documents a rural environment shaped by the floodplains and levees of the Tallahatchie drainage system. Small settlements like Malone and Spraggins sit along the corridor of Old Highway 7, while Abbeville anchors the southwestern corner near the Graham Creek drainage. The map is a significant resource for those tracing local lineages, featuring numerous historic burial grounds and congregations such as Spring Hill Ch Cem, Greenfield Ch Cem, and Me Maria Ch Cem. Notably, the area hosts specialized scientific and monitoring infrastructure, including the Univ of Mississippi Seismic Station and the Bagley Lookout tower.
