2018 Map of Poplar Creek

About this map

Poplar Creek serves as a central point in this part of Mississippi, where the boundary between Montgomery and Attala counties divides the landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small watercourses, including Bagasha Cr and Zilpha Cr, which carve through the elevations near Arnold Mtn. This area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Joe Walker Cem, Old Friendship Cem, and the Old Pine Bluff Cem, indicating a long-established settlement pattern deeply connected to these specific hillsides and rural roads. The distribution of sites like Shiloh Cem and Adams Cem along the winding road network, including Poplar Creek Rd and Pine Bluff Rd, suggests a community structured around local landmarks and family lineages rather than large urban centers.
