2024 Map of Poplar Creek

About this map

Poplar Creek serves as the central hub of this North Mississippi landscape, where the headwaters of numerous waterways like Armstrong Branch and Little Poplar Creek carve through the terrain. The area is defined by its deep genealogical roots, evidenced by a high density of family and community burial grounds including Old Pine Bluff Cem, Joe Walker Cem, and Adams Cem. To the south, the boundary between Montgomery Co and Attala Co cuts across a network of rural roads such as Ellis Rd and Walker Rd. The elevation rises distinctly at Arnold Mountain in the southern portion of the map, overlooking the winding path of Zilpha Creek. This modern survey preserves the locations of numerous historic sites, including two distinct locations for Old Friendship Cem, providing a detailed record of the settlement patterns and community foundations in this part of the state.
