2018 Map of Peoples

About this map

The Little Hatchie River and Hatchie River converge in this corner of Tippah and Alcorn counties, creating a landscape defined by meandering creek beds and narrow ridges. The settlement of Peoples serves as a central point for a community largely connected by county roads like Co RD 200 and Co RD 500. This area is particularly rich in family and community burial grounds, preserving local history through sites such as Peoples Cem, Richardson Cem, Lebanon Cem, and Golden Hill Cem. Infrastructure in this rural river basin is highlighted by crossings like Waldon Bridge and Grum Bridge, while the topography is punctuated by prominent rises such as Silver Springs Hill and Neil Hill. The map provides a clear look at the distribution of homesteads and small family plots, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem and Lowrey Cem, that characterize the settlement patterns of northern Mississippi.
