About this map

Newton and its surrounding countryside in eastern Mississippi are defined by a complex network of waterways and a deep connection to local genealogy. The town center is marked by several significant burial grounds, including the Doolittle Confederate Cem and Masonic Cem, serving as key landmarks for local researchers. Surrounding settlements such as Lawrence, Bethel, and Calhoun are linked by a grid of named roads like Newton Conehatta Rd and Cedar Grove Rd, reflecting the rural infrastructure of Newton County.

The landscape south of town transitions into the protected timberlands of the Bienville National Forest, while the northern reaches are drained by numerous creeks, including Richardson Mill Cr and Potterchitto Cr. To the south, Bogue Falema Cr and Tarlou Cr wind through the terrain near the community of Calhoun. This map also identifies specialized locations such as the James H Easom Field and the secluded Evans Cem, providing a detailed look at the land use and historic landmarks of the region.
