About this map

Bay Springs Lake dominates the central landscape of this Prentiss and Tishomingo County border region, where the waters of Mackeys Creek were impounded to create a significant reservoir and recreational resource. The reservoir is spanned by the Harris Crossing Bridge, a vital connector between the eastern and western portions of the county. The southern portion of the map is defined by the sweeping corridor of the Natchez Trace Pkwy, following the ancient travel route through the Mississippi uplands.

Local family history is deeply etched into the land, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as East Prentiss Cem, Jackson Camp Cem, and Old Mackeys Creek Cem. These sites, along with smaller landmarks like Union Chapel Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem, reflect the long-standing settlement patterns of the surrounding communities. The terrain is further shaped by a network of drainage systems, including Little Brown Cr and Wasson Br, which flow toward the central basin.
