2012 Map of Marcella

About this map

Tchula Lake meanders across this alluvial landscape, defining the character of a region deeply shaped by the ancient movements of the Yazoo Basin's watercourses. Small agricultural communities such as Marcella, Choctaw, and Refuge are connected by a network of rural roads like Belmont Rd and Spruill Rd, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of Holmes County. The presence of Marcella Cem and family-named landmarks like Palmatree Island provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local roots. Along the northern bends of the river, Horseshoe Lake and its surrounding plantation roads hint at the area's agricultural history. Further south, the terrain includes Boone's Deadening, a distinctive topographic feature near Eagle Lake, while Old Fannegusha Cr winds through the eastern portion of the sheet.
