About this map

Bay Springs Lake dominates this landscape along the border of Prentiss and Tishomingo Counties, created by the massive engineering of the Bay Springs Lock and Dam. This map reflects the significant 1990s environmental changes brought by the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, which transformed the former creek valleys into a major aquatic corridor. Despite the inundation, the surrounding hills retain many generational landmarks, including the Old Mackeys Creek Cem and Cotton Springs Cem.

The road network is defined by the Natchez Trace Parkway cutting across the southwestern corner, while local life centers on rural institutions like Union Chapel, Mt Zion Ch, and Mt Pleasant Ch. Resource extraction is evident at the Gravel Pits near Rock Creek, while conservation efforts are represented by the John Bell Williams State Wildlife Management Area, showing the region's balance between industrial transit and natural preservation.
