2018 Map of Puckett

About this map

The Strong River winds through the central and southern reaches of this landscape, marking the transition across the Rankin and Simpson County line. The settlement of Puckett serves as a local hub near the intersection of several rural routes, while smaller locales like Everett and Mayton anchor the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. This territory is characterized by numerous small family and community burial grounds, such as Puckett Cem and Rosehill Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research. A notable historical feature is the Old Railroad Grade running northwest of Puckett, a physical remnant of earlier industrial transportation through the piney woods. Tributaries like Wildcat Creek and Clear Creek feed into the river system, defining the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early homesteads and crossings like Floyd Bridge.
