About this map

The Pine Valley settlement serves as the focal point of this rural North Mississippi landscape, situated along the undulating drainage divide where the Yalobusha and Calhoun county line runs. The area is defined by a dense network of small waterways including Turkey Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Saunders Creek, which carve through the timbered terrain. This 1980s-era topographic survey captures a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches such as Tabernacle Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Bethel Ch that anchor the scattered homesteads.

Family history is preserved in several small burial grounds across the quadrangle, notably Wilson Cem and Macedonia Cem. The presence of Mill Pond Branch and Johnson Cr suggests a history tied to local water power and agriculture. For the researcher, the map provides precise locations for these landmarks just before the digital age, showing the rural road network and topographic relief of this specific corner of the Deep South.
