About this map

Matherville and Gretna anchor this rural landscape along the boundary where Clarke Co meets Wayne Co. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding Buckatunna Creek and various tributaries such as Shiloh Cr, Cypress Cr, and Tick Cr. These stream systems have historically influenced the settlement patterns and local road networks seen throughout the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the countryside. From the Scotch Chapel Cem in the north to New Hope Cem and Salem Cem further south, these sites provide vital links to the area's early residents. The network of county roads, such as the Waynesboro-Matherville Rd and Highway 84 E, connects these small communities and burial grounds, tracing the historical development of these Mississippi counties.
