About this map

Cairo and Holcut anchor the northern landscape of this Tishomingo and Prentiss County border region. The terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where water flows between systems like Yellow Creek and Mackeys Creek. This geography created a network of ridges and knobs, including Odom Hill, Riddle Wind Ridge, and Barnett Knob, which influenced early road patterns and settlement locations. The area is dense with genealogical markers, featuring numerous country cemeteries such as South Crossroads Cemetery, Forked Oak Cemetery, and New Lebanon Cemetery. To the south, the settlement of Burton sits near the edges of Burton Lake and the significant reach of Bay Springs Lake. The map details the rural character of these Northeast Mississippi communities, connected by a web of county roads that navigate the complex drainage basins of Cripple Deer and Hurricane Creek.
