About this map

The settlement of Pine Valley anchors this rural landscape at the border of Yalobusha and Calhoun counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, with Turkey Creek and its many tributaries, such as Simpson Br and Hurricane Cr, carving the topography. This 2018 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, evidenced by the numerous small family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the hills.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several landmark sites, including Bethel Cem in the northwest and Meggs Cem in the southeast. The winding paths of Pine Valley Rd and Turkey Creek Rd follow the natural contours of the land, connecting disparate homesteads and cemeteries like Macedonia Cem and Tabernacle Cem. The map illustrates the persistence of these rural place names and the enduring structure of the Mississippi hill country.
