About this map

Polkville sits at the heart of this landscape, where the rural networks of Smith, Rankin, and Scott Counties converge. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Strong River and its tributaries, including Raspberry Cr and Old-Field Cr. To the east, the protected timberlands of the Bienville National Forest provide a dense backdrop of managed woodland near Beaver Lake.

Family and community history are deeply anchored in the numerous burial grounds and churches scattered across the quadrangle. From the Old Polkville Cem and Old Stubbs Cem near the central settlement to the Cooperville Baptist Church Cem in the north and the Oak Grove Church of God Cem further east, these sites mark the long-standing family lineages of the region. Small hamlets like Cooperville and Daniel remain connected by a web of county roads, such as Co Rd 143 and Watson Rd, that follow the natural rises between the creeks.
