About this map

Poplar Creek serves as the focal point of this rural landscape where the border of Montgomery and Attala counties is defined by section lines and winding creek beds. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including Armstrong Branch and Zilpha Creek, which carve through the wooded hills surrounding the prominent height of Arnold Mountain.

For the genealogist or local historian, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and cemeteries. From the Joe Walker Cemetery in the central hills to Adams Cemetery in the northeast, these sites reveal the legacy of early settlers. The distribution of sites like Old Pine Bluff Cemetery and the Shiloh Cemetery alongside roads like Tompkins Road and Walker Road illustrates the persistent footprint of long-standing family homesteads in this part of Mississippi.
