About this map

The Little Hatchie River and its numerous tributaries, including White Oak Cr and Camp Cr, define the drainage patterns of this borderland between Tippah and Alcorn counties. The settlement of Peoples serves as a central reference point in a landscape marked by family-named hills and hollows, such as Rogers Hill and Transfer Hollow. The map reveals a dense network of rural routes, including Co RD 500 and Co RD 250, connecting isolated homesteads and local landmarks.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here due to the concentration of burial sites throughout the townships. Researchers can find well-documented locations for Peoples Cem, Pleasant Ridge Cem, and Rogers Chapel Cem, alongside smaller family plots like Williams Cem and Richardson Cem. The presence of crossing points like Waldon Bridge and Crum Bridge indicates the historical importance of the river crossings to the local agricultural economy and social connectivity of the region.
