2018 Map of Potts Camp

About this map

Potts Camp serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Holly Springs National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Tippah River. The town sits at the intersection of local history and northern Mississippi geography, marked by several prominent family and community burial grounds including Potts Camp Cem, Saint Mary Cem, and Butler Cem. To the south, the settlement of Winborn lies along Oaklimeter Creek, while the northern reaches feature the recreational waters of Chewalla Lake. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of Potts Camp to the dispersed rural communities of Waites and Lake Center. This detailed survey preserves the placement of many remote cemeteries like Bethany Cem and Harmony Cem, which often represent the only remaining markers of early homesteads in the Marshall and Benton County borderlands.
