About this map

The town of Raleigh serves as the focal point of this Smith County survey, where the local street grid meets the winding courses of Oakohay Cr and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is heavily marked by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Moss Cem, Gordan Cem, and Myers Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. To the north, the settlement of Shongelo sits near Shongelo Lake, while the local economy is punctuated by the Boykin Church Oil Field and access via Boykin Church Rd.

Hydrography defines the terrain, with creeks like Twomile Cr, Harrison Br, and Little Oakohay Cr threading through the countryside. These waterways are accompanied by a network of timber and forest roads such as USFS Rd 521 and Georgia Pacific Ln, reflecting the regional reliance on natural resources. The map also detail various landmarks near the town center, such as the North Raleigh Cem and Mount Pisgah Cem.
