About this map

The Bienville National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the Strong River and its many tributaries, including Davis Creek and Old Field Creek, carve through the terrain. This survey reflects a rural Mississippi crossroads at the turn of the millennium, centered on the small settlement of Polkville. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous community hubs such as Polkville Ch, Homestead Ch, and New Prospect Ch.

Evidence of local family history is scattered throughout the township, from the Polkville Cem to the isolated James Cem and Rock Bluff Cem. To the north, the small community of Cooperville sits near the county line, while Haile Camp and Daniel mark the more remote southern and eastern reaches. The presence of several Drill Holes and a Substation suggests the quiet integration of industrial infrastructure within this heavily wooded and agricultural region.
