New Albany anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where residential streets like 3rd St and Garfield St give way to the complex topography of the Pontotoc Ridge. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct heights, including Rakestraw Mtn, Briar Mtn, and Beacon Hill, which separate the various branches of Okannatie Cr and King Cr. This 2018 survey reveals a rural infrastructure deeply connected to its local history, evidenced by the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Adair Cem, Wallersville Cem, and Snider Cem. Small settlements like Wallerville, Mound City, and Blue Springs are interspersed throughout the hills, connected by a network of county roads. The southern portion of the map is marked by the Union and Pontotoc County line, crossing through the community of New Harmony near the winding waters of Caldwell Cr and Popular Springs Cr.
