2020 Map of McCool

About this map

McCool serves as the central hub of this landscape, situated along the Yockanookany River at the intersection of several local routes like Smythe St and Bowie St. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites, including the Mount Pilgrim Cem, McCool Cem, and Bowie Chapel Cem, which reflect the generations of families settled across the Attala and Choctaw county line. To the south and east, the terrain rises into the Ironstone Hills, where smaller communities like Kerr are found among a network of creeks including Wildcat Cr and Hurricane Cr. The geography is defined by its water sources, from the steady flow of Tibby Cr to the localized Lignite Spring, illustrating a late-20th-century rural Mississippi landscape where timber and small-scale agriculture dictate the settlement patterns.
