About this map

Oakland serves as the central hub of this Yalobusha County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a network of rural roads such as Hickory St and Maple St. The northern edge is defined by the expansive waters of Enid Lake, while the surrounding countryside is drained by numerous winding waterways including N Fork Tillatoba Cr and Kuykendall Cr. The settlement of Blanche appears in the south, connected to the larger town by Tillatoba Co.

For genealogists and local historians, this map provides an exceptionally dense record of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial sites are documented throughout the hills, including the Carr Cemeteries, Rocky Branch Cemeteries, and Saint Paul Cem. Other notable sites such as Mount Pisgah Cem and Parrish Henderson Cem offer clear evidence of the historical burial grounds that dot this corner of Mississippi.
