2024 Map of Newtonia

About this map

The Newtonia settlement sits at the center of this rural Mississippi landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the terrain south of the Buffalo River. This area is characterized by a high density of small family burial grounds, such as Phares Cem, Hatfield Cem, and Netterville 1 Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogists tracing local family histories. The road network, including the Judydahl Plantation Rd and Whitestone State Line Rd, reflects a history of land divisions and agricultural estates. Waterways like Jackson Creek and Thompson Creek define the drainage patterns that shaped the early settlement of Wilkinson County. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure, including many named roads and property boundaries like t1n r1w that have persisted through generations of local land management.
