About this map

Ecru serves as the primary municipal center in this section of Pontotoc County, where a grid of streets like Central Ave and Highland Ave meet the local rail corridor at S Railroad Ave. The surrounding landscape is defined by a network of creeks, most notably Lappatubby Cr and Mud Cr, which wind through a patchwork of small communities and family-named locales. Rural settlements such as Possum Trot, Hortontown, and Turnpike reflect the dispersed residential character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family burial grounds, including Babb Cem, Weatherall Cem, and Wardlow Cem. The southern portion of the map highlights modern infrastructure like the Pontotoc County Airport and the convergence of transit routes at North Junction, showing how the area balanced its agricultural roots with growing transportation needs into the early 21st century.
