2024 Map of Red Lick

About this map

Red Lick and Tillman anchor this rural landscape in southwestern Mississippi, where the boundary between Claiborne and Jefferson Counties follows the undulating terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including Willis Creek, Whetstone Creek, and Brady Creek, which carve through the wooded hills. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family and community burial sites, ranging from the Wade Family Cem to the Cherry Hill Cem and Little Zion Cem. Small junctions like Dennis Crossroads connect the winding secondary roads that link these isolated settlements. The presence of the Homeless Cem and scattered church-affiliated cemeteries points to the deep-rooted social fabric of these rural townships, while the prominent Blue Hill serves as a distinct topographical landmark in the southeastern quadrant.
