About this map

Oak Hill Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark in this section of Northeast Mississippi, overlooking a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a network of county roads. The area around Oak Hill and Cherry Creek reflects a quiet, agrarian character, punctuated by several community focal points including Cherry Creek Orchards and Pontotoc Memorial Park. Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the documentation of several family and community burial sites, such as Harmony Cem, Miller Cem, and Spring Hill Cem.

The terrain transitions into alluvial lowlands like Cherry Bottom and Wilson Bottom, where the waters of Cherry Cr and Miller Cr shape the local topography. Smaller hamlets like Endville, Nixon, and Rough Edge anchor the road system, while Popular Springs Cr and Coonewah Cr drain the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. This detailed documentation captures the community structure and rural land use of the region in the early twenty-first century.
