About this map

Red Bay sits at the intersection of Alabama and Mississippi, serving as a primary hub where the terrain transitions toward the Tennessee Valley Divide. This 2014 survey documents the dense network of rural roads and family cemeteries that define the borderlands of Franklin, Tishomingo, and Itawamba counties. The landscape is heavily dissected by waterways like Bear Creek and Chubby Cr, which drain the timbered ridges of the Freedom Hills.

Genealogists can trace a high concentration of burial sites throughout these hills, ranging from the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens near the town center to more isolated locations like New Hope Cem and Butler Cem. Significant infrastructure such as the Tishomingo County Airport and the Bear Creek Bridge appear alongside smaller settlements like Golden and Belmont. The map also details local recreational and hydrological features including Bates Lake and Berry Lake, providing a clear view of the area's physical and cultural geography at the start of the decade.
