2015 Map of Meehan

About this map

Meridian dominates the eastern edge of this Lauderdale County landscape, where the urban outskirts meet the varied terrain of east Mississippi. The geography is defined by a series of creeks including Okatibbee Creek and Tallabatta Creek, while the Chunky River winds through the southwestern corner. This area serves as a significant transportation corridor, marked by the confluence of major highways and local thoroughfares like Old Highway 80 W. Small settlements such as Meehan, Lost Gap, and Sterling are scattered across the quadrangle, often anchored by local landmarks like Key Field or natural points of interest such as Tunnel Hill. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several historic burial grounds, including Tunnel Hill Cem, Burwell Cem, and Goodwater Cem, which provide tangible links to the families who established these rural communities.
