About this map

The northern reaches of Pontotoc extend toward the rural communities of Ecru and Nixon, where the landscape is defined by broad alluvial basins like Cherry Bottom and Wilson Bottom. These low-lying areas, drained by waterways such as Cherry Cr and Miller Cr, contrast with the surrounding elevations like Dozier Hill. The road network connects historically distinct clusters, including the small settlement of Endville to the east and Cherry Creek to the north, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural hamlets across this portion of Pontotoc County.

Genealogists will find several local burial sites preserved on this modern survey, including Harmony Cem, Miller Cem, Immanuel Cem, and Spring Hill Cem. Public spaces like Pontotoc Memorial Park and the rural crossroads of Rough Edge and Longview further illustrate the area's social geography. The map also delineates the Union Co and Pontotoc Co boundary, providing a precise record of contemporary municipal and land divisions.
