2020 Map of Mantee

About this map

Mantee and Dancy anchor this portion of Webster County, where the modern Natchez Trace Parkway bisects the landscape of north-central Mississippi. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Big Black River, with Line Creek and Old Field Creek carving through the agricultural and wooded surroundings. Evidence of early community centers remains preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the township lines, including Mount Pleasant Cemetery near the Chickasaw County border and Pisgah Cemetery to the southeast. The survey details the drainage patterns of the Topashaw Canal and the recreation areas surrounding Mantee Lake. For those tracing local history, the map identifies family-named landmarks like Choctaw Ridge and a dense network of rural roads such as Old Cumberland Road and Jack Forrester Road.
