2024 Map of McCarley

About this map

McCarley serves as a central hub for this rural Mississippi landscape, where the boundary between Carroll and Montgomery counties divides the terrain. The area is defined by an intricate network of watercourses including Big Sand Creek, Thompson Creek, and Whitehead Creek, which carve through the wooded hills and valleys. This modern survey reflects a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by numerous family and church-affiliated burial grounds such as Old Friendship Baptist Cem, Eden CME Church Cem, and the Pink Flower Cem. These sites, along with the Eden Methodist Cem, provide vital geographic markers for genealogists and local historians tracking early settlement patterns. A major interstate corridor cuts through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, contrasting the traditional rural road network like Carrollton Rd and McDonald Rd that connects the scattered homesteads and legacy landmarks.
