About this map

The Strong River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, defining the topography of the Rankin and Simpson County border. In the late 1960s, the community of Puckett serves as a local hub near the intersection of various creeks, including Clear Creek and Fletcher Branch. The area is characterized by a patchwork of rural land use, where the legacy of early transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern sections.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant data in the numerous family and community landmarks, such as Burnham Cem, Ross Cem, and Everett Cem. Spiritual life is anchored by New Mt Zion Ch, Rose Hill Ch, and County Line Ch. Near the settlement of Everett, the terrain transitions into the river bottomlands, while an Oil Well and a Pipeline indicate the post-war industrial footprint on this Mississippi countryside.
