2018 Map of Northeast Pontotoc

About this map

The town of Pontotoc sits at the southern edge of this landscape where the terrain transitions into the creek bottoms of Northern Mississippi. This survey reveals a community defined by its watercourses and rural settlements, from the residential outskirts of Ecru and Cherry Creek in the northwest to the crossroads of Endville in the northeast. The geography is notably divided by the broad alluvial plains of Wilson Bottom, Cherry Bottom, and Coonewah Bottom, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and farms. Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of local burial grounds, including Harmony Cem, Miller Cem, and Spring Hill Cem. These landmarks, along with the neighborhood of Rough Edge and the elevated Dozier Hill, provide a clear picture of the county's established rural network and its persistent settlement patterns.
