About this map

Oakland and the smaller settlement of Enid center this topographic survey near the line between Tallahatchie and Yalobusha counties. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Tillatoba Creek system, including the North Fork Tillatoba Creek and Hunter Creek. To the northeast, the terrain transitions into the recreation-focused lands of Cossar State Park along the southern reaches of Enid Lake, while the southeastern corner is protected within the Holly Springs National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of country churches and family-named cemeteries that reflect the area's rural heritage. Notable landmarks include the Olive Grove Ch and Mt Pisgah Ch, along with numerous burial grounds such as the Womble Cem, Parish Henderson Cem, and St Paul Cem. The presence of several gravel pits and a large pipeline cutting across the southwestern quadrant highlights the local infrastructure and land use at the turn of the twenty-first century.
