About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River bisects this landscape west of New Albany, carving out the broad King Creek Bottoms near the center of the survey. The terrain is a patchwork of small communities and rural family landmarks, ranging from Poolville in the northwest to Ecru and Cairo along the southern border. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites including Union Hill Cem, Martin Cem, and the Vista Memorial Park Cem, alongside the Pleasant Grove Cem and Ingomar Cem.

Transport is dominated by the BNSF Railway corridor and a network of county roads like Oxford Rd and W Bankhead St that connect outlying settlements such as Martintown, Mitchell, and Ingomar. The presence of Lappatubby Creek and Okannatie Cr indicates a highly articulated drainage system across the Union and Pontotoc county line, supporting a distribution of farmsteads and rural homesites characteristic of the North Mississippi hill country.
