2012 Map of McDonald

About this map

The Neshoba County Fairgrounds sit at the heart of this rural landscape near Coldwater, reflecting the deep-rooted social traditions of Neshoba County. This 2012 survey illustrates a network of small, scattered communities like Dixon and Linwood, connected by a complex grid of county roads. The terrain is defined by a system of water management, including the Lonsilocher Canal and Fulton Canal, which channel water through the agricultural lands toward the Pearl River basin. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies numerous local burial sites such as Mount Carmel Cem, Hope Cem, and Morrow Memorial Cem. The settlement pattern at McDonald and the surrounding hamlets indicates a region still primarily organized around agricultural production and community gathering points.
