2018 Map of Mooreville

About this map

Mooreville and Mantachie anchor this 2018 survey of the borderlands between Lee and Itawamba Counties. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Boguefala Cr and Mantachie Cr, which cut through a region of scattered family settlements and small agricultural clearings like Lamb's Field. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, many bearing family names such as the Sandlin Family Cem, Baldwin Family Cem, and Pound Family Cem. Religious history is preserved in the dual locations of New Spring Hill Ch and Old Spring Hill Ch near the western boundary. The settlement pattern shows a shift from early crossroads like Auburn and Eggville toward more modern residential development clustered around the primary county roads, while places like Shiloh and Centerville maintain their rural character near the eastern county line.
