About this map

Emory sits in the southern portion of this landscape where the Carroll Co Holmes Co boundary line bisects the rural terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of creek systems, most notably the meandering paths of Abiaca Cr, Fannegusha Cr, and Murdock Cr. These waterways dictate the local geography, winding through sections of the Hill Country. Numerous small family or community burial grounds, including Reeves Cem, Old Salem Cem, and Martin Grove Cem, are scattered across the townships, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research.

Transportation is primarily served by an intricate grid of county roads such as Wash Bailey Rd and Good Hope Rd. The presence of Murdock Lake, Beards Lake, and Sanders Lake suggests a landscape shaped by both natural drainage and local water management. The survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in this part of Mississippi, from the small settlement at Emory to the creek bottoms near Bisland Bayou.
