About this map

Palo Alto and Abbott anchor this rural Mississippi landscape in the late 1980s, reflecting a settled pattern of agricultural life defined by numerous small communities and family landmarks. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of several waterways, including the winding Houlka Creek and the notably named Death Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the abundance of small, named cemeteries and churches provides significant information-gain, with sites like Palo Alto Cem, Watkins Cem, and St Robertson Ch scattered across the countryside.
