About this map

Prairie and Gibson sit at the intersection of several historic boundaries where Monroe, Chickasaw, and Clay counties meet. This agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of Chuquatonchee Cr and its tributaries, including James Cr and Hang Kettle Cr. The rural character of the area is underscored by the presence of small family and community burial grounds such as Patterson Cem, Coleman Cem, and Reedy Cem.

Transportation corridors like the Old Magnolia Hwy and Prairie Mills Rd connect these small settlements, while Ball Airport provides a modern aviation landmark in the north. The drainage patterns of Town Cr and Fuller Cr illustrate the low-lying terrain typical of this part of Mississippi. This survey provides a clear view of the cadastral divisions and local road networks that have shaped land ownership and movement through this tri-county border region.
