About this map

Locum and Pleasant Ridge anchor a landscape defined by the upper reaches of the Hatchie River and its intricate network of tributaries. The terrain is notably marked by isolated peaks and ridges such as Sapling Mountain, Sweden Hill, and Davis Hill, which rise above the surrounding creek bottoms of Bussel Cr and Sawmill Cr. This geography shaped the settlement patterns of Tippah County, where small communities like Halltown, Graham, and Jericho are connected by a web of county roads that navigate the varying elevations.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-linked burial grounds preserved across the area, including Pickens Cem, Stubb Cem, and Bartlett Cem. The presence of County Lake and Zion Hill Cem at the southern edge suggests a long-standing local infrastructure built around these rural landmarks. This map provides a detailed view of the rural Mississippi interior, where the relationship between the river drainage and the upland ridges remains the primary geographical feature.
