1982 Map of Myrtle

About this map

The Heipsy Hills dominate the northern landscape of this region where the borders of Benton, Tippah, and Union counties converge. A distinctive network of country churches and family burial grounds, including Zion Hill Ch, Bethlehem Ch, and McAllister Cem, marks the rural social fabric outside the principal settlement of Myrtle. The southern portion of the map reveals the transition from higher ground into the river bottomlands near the Tallahatchie R, where smaller communities like Glenfield and Pumpkin Center are situated.
