2024 Map of Paden

About this map

Paden and the surrounding borderlands of Tishomingo and Prentiss counties are defined by the massive infrastructure of the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway, which carves a path through the rolling terrain toward Bay Springs Lake. This modern landscape preserves fragments of older rural life, where small settlements like Cairo, Holcut, and Burton serve as anchors for a network of family-named landmarks and country crossroads. The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through the western portion of the map, separating the drainage of Yellow Creek from the southern-flowing waters of Mackeys Creek.
