1980 Map of Northeast Pontotoc

About this map

The boundary between Union and Pontotoc counties runs through this landscape of rolling hills and creek bottoms as it appeared in the late 1970s. The northern portion is defined by the headwaters of Springs Creek and the settlement of Poplar Springs, while the southern reaches contain the city of Pontotoc and the notable Old Natchez Trace Park. Several small community centers like Cherry Creek and Endville are mapped alongside numerous rural institutions, including Naylor Chapel and Center Hill Ch. The physical geography is marked by expansive lowlands such as Coonewah Creek Bottom and Wilson Bottom, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of North Mississippi. Genealogy interests are well-served by the inclusion of established burial grounds like Harmony Cem, Miller Cem, and Spring Hill Cem, which anchor the various townships and family lands across the quadrangle.
