2015 Map of Northeast Pontotoc

About this map

Ecru and the northern outskirts of Pontotoc anchor this survey of the Mississippi hill country, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of Coonewah Cr and Mubby Cr. Small, established communities like Cherry Creek, Nixon, and Longview are connected by a network of winding local roads such as Tuscumbia Rd and Old Highway 9. The area's social history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds, including Harmony Cem, Miller Cem, and Immanuel Cem, often located near crossroads or high ground like Dozier Hill. The geography transitions from the flatlands of Connewah Bottom to the rising terrain of Oak Hill, illustrating the traditional settlement patterns where homes and farms followed the ridges above the flood-prone bottoms of Wilson Bottom.
