About this map

McCool sits as the central hub of this eastern Attala County landscape, where the Yockanookany River winds through the terrain alongside a network of local roads and creek drainages. The area is defined by its deep community roots, evidenced by the high density of rural burial grounds and places of worship. Family and community heritage is anchored at sites like Bowies Chapel and the nearby Bowie Chapel Cem, along with the McCool Cem and Mount Pilgrim Cem.

To the east, the Ironstone Hills rise above the drainage basins of Tibby Cr and Wildcat Cr. Smaller settlements such as Bowies Chapel and Kerr are connected by historical routes including McCool Rd and the Fentress-Panhandle Rd. The map also details numerous water features such as Lignite Spring and Hurricane Cr, which have likely influenced the placement of farms and homesteads throughout this Mississippi region for generations.
