2015 Map of McDonald

About this map

McDonald and the surrounding rural communities of Neshoba County appear in this 2015 survey, characterized by a persistent pattern of small settlements and family cemeteries. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of Beasha Cr and Beasha Creek, which transition into engineered drainage systems like the Lansilocher Canal and Fulton Canal in the eastern reaches. Local history is deeply anchored in these crossroads and rural clusters, where several generations are recorded at sites such as Mount Carmel Cem, Dixon Cem, and Morrow Memorial Cem. The map illustrates a network of county roads connecting established locales like Dixon, Linwood, and Good Hope, reflecting the continued importance of these named places within the Pearl River region long after many similar rural centers were consolidated or bypassed.
