About this map

McCarley sits at the heart of this rural landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Big Sand Creek basin. The area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Prospect Cem, Primitive Cem, and Pink Flower Cem, offering significant value for genealogical research in Montgomery County. These sites are scattered across a terrain shaped by winding creeks like Magic Creek and Sykes Creek.

The southern portion of the sheet features distinct water bodies such as Barrentine Lake and American Legion Lake, while the eastern corridor is dominated by the modern transport path of the interstate. Despite this newer infrastructure, the older county road network still follows the ridges and valleys, connecting long-standing landmarks like Pleasant Green Cem and Wall Cem. This balance of local watercourses and historic cemeteries provides a clear view of the settlement patterns that have persisted in this part of Mississippi.
