About this map

Mesa and the surrounding rural communities of Dinan, Kioto, and Rushing anchor this section of Walthall County, where a dense network of family cemeteries and small-scale creek systems defines the landscape. The geography is characterized by several water bodies, including the meandering Leatherwood Creek and Sweetwater Creek, which flow through a territory mapped with numerous family landmarks such as the Obed Magee Cem, Isaac Duncan Cem, and the Elisha Thornhill Cem.

Modern infrastructure like the Paul Pittman Memorial Airport contrasts with the traditional rural layout of the region. The map provides a detailed view of the local road system, including named routes like Mesa-Mount Olive Rd and Tylertown Mesa Rd, which connect the small settlements. For genealogists and local historians, these specific road names and well-documented cemetery locations offer precise points for tracing ancestral land holdings and community evolution in southern Mississippi.
