About this map

The Little Tallahatchie River and its wide alluvial basin at King Creek Bottoms dominate the topography of this Union County landscape. To the north, the western suburbs of New Albany stretch toward the river, while the smaller settlements of Martintown and Poolville occupy the higher ground between creek drainages. The southern portion of the map follows the historic boundary between Union Co and Pontotoc Co, where the community of Ingomar sits near the headwaters of Jones Cr.

Genealogical researchers can locate several community burial sites, including Union Hill Cem, Martin Cem, and Pleasant Grove Cem. The map provides a clear look at the transition from the organized grid of New Albany to the rural road networks that follow the ridges, such as Martintown Rd and Co Rd 65, revealing how the local geography influenced the development of these North Mississippi communities.
