2015 Map of McAdams

About this map

Springdale and the surrounding Attala County countryside are defined by a network of small family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of this Central Mississippi region. Numerous sites such as Springdale Cem, Musselwhite Cem, and Mount Zion Cem dot the landscape near the drainage of Apookta Cr. Further south, the map details the settlements of Earlyville, McAdams, and Hurricane, where local travel relied on a dense grid of rural routes like Sallis McAdams Rd and Dodd Rd. The terrain is characterized by a series of small lakes and creek branches, including Atwood Lake, Bailey Lake, and Burrel Lake. The proximity of several cemeteries like Pleasant Ridge Cem and Bethlehem Cem to these water bodies suggests the historical importance of creek-side settlement patterns in the township's development during the twentieth century.
