About this map

The Tuscumbia River and its numerous tributaries, including Parmicha Cr and Bynum Cr, define the drainage patterns of this Alcorn County landscape. Settlement is concentrated along the primary north-south corridor, where the community of Biggersville sits near New Hope Cem. Further south, the town of Rienzi serves as a local hub near the Rienzi Cem.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Old Danville Cem to the clustered Dilworth Cemeteries and the Wheeler Cem near Allentown. The map also captures specialized sites like Camp Warriner near Santa Fe Lake and the Forrest Memorial Park. Small named settlements such as Synagogue and Kimmons Hill reflect the rural social geography of northern Mississippi in the early 21st century.
