About this map

Red Lick and Tillman serve as central points in this rural landscape near the boundary of Claiborne and Jefferson counties. The area is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Tillman Rd and Woodvine Rd that connect family-named cemeteries and crossroads. Numerous burial grounds are scattered across the terrain, including Cherry Hill Cem, Beech Hill Cem, and the uniquely named Homeless Cem, suggesting a long history of small, localized communities.

Watercourses like Brady Cr and Whetstone Cr wind through the topography, while Blue Hill provides a distinct high point in the south. The prevalence of named landmarks like Dennis Crossroads and Stephens Cem provides significant data for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in this part of Mississippi. The map illustrates a modern view of a region that remains deeply tied to its early settlement patterns and rural infrastructure.
