2015 Map of Pleasant Ridge

About this map

The Hatchie River and its numerous tributaries, including Middle Br Wilhite Cr and Sawmill Cr, define the drainage of this rural landscape along the boundary of Tippah and Union counties. Small settlements and crossroads like Dumas, Halltown, and Jericho anchor a network of rural routes such as CR-330 and CR-172. For those tracing local families, the map provides precise locations for many small burial grounds, including Pleasant Ridge Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Zion Hill Cem. The terrain is characterized by named elevations like Pea Ridge, Sweden Hill, and Sapling Mtn, which rise above the creek valleys. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of North Mississippi, where land use remains centered on scattered farmsteads and traditional communities connected by an extensive system of county roads.
