2018 Map of Murdock Lake

About this map

Emory sits at the southern edge of this Mississippi landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in a terrain defined by its complex drainage network. The boundary between Carroll Co and Holmes Co cuts diagonally across the southern half of the sheet, where Fannegusha Creek and its tributary, Little Fannegusha Creek, wind through the lowlands. The importance of family and community history is evident in the distribution of burial grounds across the rural townships, including Old Salem Cemetery, Reeves Cemetery, and Murdock Cemetery.
