2012 Map of Meehan

About this map

Tunnel Hill and the surrounding piney woods of Lauderdale County are defined by a complex network of small waterways and legacy settlements west of Meridian. The landscape is carved by streams like Cow Creek, Hognose Creek, and the Chunky River, which influence the placement of early crossroads and rural centers. Several small communities, including Lost Gap, Meehan, and Savoy, are linked by the corridor of Old Highway 80 W. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Goodwater Cemetery, Osborne Cemetery, and Sageville Cemetery, which are often located near local landmarks like the Tillman Lookout Tower. The eastern edge of the area is marked by the transition toward more developed infrastructure, notably Key Field Airport, illustrating the evolution from a purely timber and agricultural landscape into a modern regional hub.
