About this map

Pleasant Grove and Horatio anchor this rural Mississippi landscape, situated where the rolling uplands of Panola County transition toward the delta region. The map reveals a community defined by its waterways and small-scale settlements, with Peach Creek and East Floyd Creek draining the territory. Researchers will find several significant local landmarks, including the Peach Creek Cemetery and the Star Place-Shiloh Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical work in the area.

Transportation is dominated by a grid of rural routes such as Ballentine Road and Pleasant Grove Road, connecting isolated crossroads like Kings Corner and Ballentine. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the McIvor Drainage Canal, illustrating the engineering efforts used to manage the local watershed and reclaim land for agricultural use. This survey provides a clear look at the spatial relationship between family homesteads and the natural creek systems like Arkabutla Creek.
