2018 Map of McDonald

About this map

McDonald and Dixon anchor this section of Neshoba County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Beasha Creek and a network of agricultural drainage canals. The map illustrates a rural settlement pattern centered on crossroads communities such as Good Hope, Trapp, and Coldwater, each connected by a winding grid of county roads. Genealogical interest is high throughout the area, with several established burial sites including Morrow Memorial Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Dixon Cem serving as local landmarks. The eastern edge of the quadrangle shows the engineered waterways of Lonsilocher Canal and Fulton Canal, which transition the terrain toward the Pearl River basin. This 2018 update of the Pearl River vicinity maintains the record of these small communities and their historic cemeteries, which remain central to the region’s local identity and heritage.
