About this map

The community of Moscow serves as a focal point in this portion of Kemper County, where the headwaters of several significant drainage systems meet. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Chickasawhay Creek and Bogue Chitto, which cut through a terrain of low ridges including Bull Mountain. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, reflecting deep-seated family roots and long-standing settlements. Notable sites for genealogical research include Cole Cem, McDonald Cem, and Linwood Cem.

South of Moscow, the settlement of Damascus is situated near the confluence of Penders Creek and Toles Branch. The map details an intricate network of local roads named for established families, such as Murphy Hardy Rd, Gibson Rd, and Chisolm Harbour Rd. This modern survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure while preserving the locations of historical community markers like Shiloh Cem and the West Kemper Cem.
