2015 Map of Mantee

About this map

Mantee and the smaller community of Dancy anchor this mid-2010s landscape where Webster, Chickasaw, and Clay counties meet. The geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Old Field Cr, Sewayiah Cr, and Line Cr, reflecting the low-lying, water-rich environment of north-central Mississippi. Cultural history is preserved in a series of local burial grounds, such as Mount Pleasant Cem and Wake Forest Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research in this rural region. The presence of the Topashaw Cr Canal in the west and Choctaw Ridge in the southwest suggests a landscape shaped by both natural elevation and deliberate water management. Traces of historical transit and family homesteads are evident in the naming of local routes like Hunters Run Rd and Ervin White Rd.
