2024 Map of Mantee

About this map

The Natchez Trace Parkway carves a sweeping diagonal through this rural landscape on the border of Webster, Clay, and Chickasaw counties. Centered on the town of Mantee, the area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and topographical landmarks, most notably the Choctaw Ridge and the Topashaw Creek Canal. Small crossroads like Dancy are situated among numerous family and community landmarks, including Wake Forest Cem and Mount Hope Cem. The survey reveals a landscape where modern infrastructure meets traditional settlement patterns, with drainage features such as Old Field Creek and Line Creek feeding toward the Big Black River. For genealogists, the map is a valuable resource for identifying the precise locations of rural burials and the original township and range divisions that governed early land patents in this section of northern Mississippi.
