2024 Map of Northeast Pontotoc

About this map

The Union and Pontotoc county line cuts through a landscape defined by rolling terrain and a dense network of creek bottoms. In the northern reaches, the community of Ecru and the settlement of Cherry Creek sit near the broad Cherry Bottom drainage. The map captures a mix of small crossroads and rural centers, from Endville in the east to the residential clusters of Nixon and Rough Edge bordering the northern edge of Pontotoc. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several local burial grounds including Spring Hill Cem, Harmony Cem, and Immanuel Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the expansion of the Pontotoc area, including the location of Pontotoc Memorial Park. The hydrological pattern is dominated by numerous winding waterways like Muddy Creek, Coonewah Creek, and Miller Creek which have shaped the settlement patterns and historical land use across these townships.
