2015 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland and Enid anchor this Mississippi landscape where the borders of Tallahatchie and Yalobusha counties meet. The area is defined by the extensive drainage systems of North Fork Tillatoba Creek and Sandy Cr, which feed into the varied topography of the Holly Springs National Forest. For researchers of local history and genealogy, the map provides an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, including Saint Paul Cem, Mount Pisgah Cem, and the Carr Cemeteries in the eastern reaches. The road network, comprising routes like Oakland-Enid Rd and Mudline Rd, connects these rural hubs through a landscape of creek bottoms and forested ridges, including the distinct terrain surrounding Yocona Ridge Rd.
