About this map

The community of Moscow sits near the headwaters of Chickasawhay Cr, a drainage that defines much of the eastern Kemper County landscape. This rural area is characterized by family-named roads and scattered settlements, such as Damascus to the southwest and Liberty near the eastern margin. The terrain is notably marked by Bull Mountain, while numerous watercourses including Bogue Chitto, Tallachula Cr, and Pawticfaw Cr segment the timberland and agricultural plots.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the West Kemper Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Linwood Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like the Moscow Recreational Vehicle Park, suggest a landscape where historic rural community structures persist into the early 21st century. The map also traces established travel routes like Old Jackson Rd, anchoring the modern geography in regional history.
