2018 Map of Philadelphia

About this map

Philadelphia serves as the central hub of this Neshoba County landscape, where the urban grid of the county seat meets the winding waterways of central Mississippi. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Pearl River and its numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Cr and Ocobla Cr. Small rural settlements like Burnside to the north and Sandtown to the east are connected by a network of county roads, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural communities. Genealogists will find significant detail in the various burial grounds and houses of worship scattered across the townships, such as Hopewell Cem and Spring Creek Ch. Near the city, the presence of the Philadelphia Municipal Airport and Barrett Field highlights the area's modern infrastructure, while the marshy lowlands of the Bogue Kentawka suggest the persistent influence of the natural river system on local development.
