About this map

The Hatchie River and its numerous tributaries, including Hatchie Br and Owens Br, define the drainage patterns across this portion of northern Mississippi. The landscape is marked by a series of distinct elevations such as Sapling Mtn, Sweden Hill, and Pea Ridge, which separate the various creek valleys. Small rural settlements are scattered throughout the quadrangle, with Dumas in the north and Jericho in the southeast acting as local landmarks along the county road network.

Local history is preserved in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cem, Bartlett Cem, and Pickens Cem. The boundary between Tippah Co and Union Co cuts horizontally across the upper third of the map, influencing the local road designations and land divisions. Near the center, County Lake provides a notable water feature amidst the complex network of branches like Bussel Cr and N Br Wilhite Cr.
