2015 Map of Ratliff

About this map

Twentymile Creek and its many tributaries, including Silver Br, Dugger Cr, and Yeager Br, define the landscape of this Northeast Mississippi region. The corridor of the Natchez Trace Pkwy and National Scenic Trail cuts diagonally across the center, following an ancient travel route through the settlements of Chapelville and Ratliff. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of community burial sites, from Pratts Cem in the north near Pratts to the Oak Grove Cem and Unity Cem in the southern reaches near Unity. The drainage patterns of Montachie Cr and Mantachie Cr reveal the varied topography where Lee, Prentiss, and Itawamba counties meet. Small rural crossroads are connected by an intricate network of county roads, such as Pratts Rd and Palestine Rd, which link the larger town of Baldwyn to the outlying agricultural areas.
