The Holly Springs National Forest covers the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, where the Heipsy Hills rise above a landscape defined by many small creek systems and rural cemeteries. The town of Myrtle serves as a central hub, while the presence of Old Myrtle to the southwest indicates a shift in the local center of gravity over time. The BNSF Railway corridor cuts through the southern portion of the map, passing through Smalco and near the developing outskirts of New Albany. Small agricultural communities and landmarks like Cotton Plant, Pumpkin Center, and Shari are scattered throughout the region, connected by an extensive network of county roads. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds, including McAllister Cem and Guyton Cem, often located near the headwaters of streams like Damnation Creek and Jasper Creek.
