2018 Map of Moscow

About this map

Moscow and Damascus anchor this section of Kemper County, where the headwaters of several significant creek systems emerge from the local highlands. The landscape is defined by the high ground of Bull Mtn and the intricate drainage of Chickasawhay Cr, Bogue Chitto, and Pawticfaw Cr. This map reveals a community organized around family lineage and local faith, as evidenced by the high density of small cemeteries including Cole, McDonald, and Linwood. Many of these are reached by roads bearing local family names like Ross Rd and Jimmy Bounds Rd. The settlement of Liberty sits in the southeast corner, connected to the larger community by a network of rural routes such as Old Jackson Rd, illustrating the persistent rural character of this region of east-central Mississippi.
