2018 Map of Northwest Pontotoc

About this map

Ecru and the northern outskirts of Pontotoc anchor this landscape, where the local economy and settlement patterns are defined by a network of drainage creeks and rural roads. The northern portion of the map is marked by the winding course of Lappatubby Creek and the small communities of Hortontown and Buchannan. The rural character of Pontotoc County is evident in the numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Shady Grove Cem and Weatherall Cem. A distinct transition occurs in the south, where the Pontotoc County Airport and the modern road networks of North Junction signal the area's development. Small clusters of homes and churches at Friendship and Possum Trot provide evidence of long-standing local community centers that have persisted through the years.
