2015 Map of Owl Creek

About this map

Bogue Chitto and the eastern border of Neshoba County define this Mississippi landscape, where the tribal lands of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians meet the rural countryside of Kemper County. The map reveals a dense network of country roads, such as CR-2831 and Fulton Rd, connecting dispersed settlements and family burial grounds across the rolling hills between Owl Creek and the Bogue Chitto river. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named sites, including Hensons Cem and Roundtree Cem, which provide geographic anchors for local heritage research. The drainage patterns of Coffadeliah Cr and Rea Ditch suggest a land historically shaped by timber and small-scale agriculture, where hamlets like Forestdale and Crossroads served as local nodes in a decentralized community structure.
