2012 Map of Mount Pleasant

About this map

Mount Pleasant and Cayce anchor this 2012 survey of the borderlands between Tennessee and Mississippi. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Coldwater River and its tributaries, including Little Coldwater Cr and Opossum Cr. While many modern residential roads like Twin Hill Way and Jonathan Dr appear in the northern reaches, the area maintains a deep connection to its local history through numerous burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians will find several family-named landmarks such as Brittenum Cem, Carey Chapel Cem, and New Shannon Cem scattered across the rural terrain. The small community of Taska sits centrally, surrounded by a network of creeks like Lee Cr and Grissum Cr that feed the river system to the south.
