2012 Map of Plattsburg

About this map

Liberty and Plattsburg anchor this rural Mississippi landscape, where a dense network of family-named roads reveals a long history of local settlement. The area is defined by its many community burial grounds, including the Plattsburg Cem, Antioch Cem, and Thompson Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous waterways like Pinishook Cr, Alampa Cr, and Jofuska Cr, which influence the winding paths of rural routes such as Mount Calvary Church Rd and Walter Sisson Rd. In the south, the settlement of Arlington sits near the headwaters of Bear Cr, illustrating how small hamlets developed at the intersections of these creek-side road systems. This documentation captures the persistent rural character of the region, where land ownership and community identity remain tied to these named creeks and historic cemetery sites.
