2012 Map of Ofahoma

About this map

The Yockanookany River winds through central Leake County, Mississippi, feeding a complex system of oxbows and wetlands including Elbow Lake, Long Lake, and Black Lake. This riverine environment defines the central corridor of the landscape, while the southern boundary is marked by the course of the Pearl River. Settlement is scattered across higher ground, with the community of Ofahoma situated near the intersection of Old Robinson Rd and the Natchez Trace Pkwy, reflecting the area's deep connection to early transit routes. For genealogists, the map identifies several rural burial sites such as Greenwood Cem, Tribulation Cem, and Rising Chapel Cem. The layout of the road network, including family-named routes like Dan Boone Rd and Emzy Smith Rd, suggests a landscape shaped by generations of local agricultural life and small communities like Forest Grove and Good Hope.
