2015 Map of Rienzi

About this map

The Tuscumbia River drainage defines the geography of this North Mississippi landscape, where the Alcorn and Prentiss county line crosses just south of Rienzi. Small communities such as Allentown, Biggersville, and Jobes are scattered across a terrain shaped by numerous waterways, including Parmicha Cr, Bynum Cr, and Hinkle Cr. The map is particularly notable for its concentration of burial sites, including the uniquely named Tuscumbias Grave, the historic Danville Cem (Old), and the Stockade Cem. This distribution of cemeteries alongside rural settlements like Allentown offers a detailed view of the regional settlement patterns. Higher ground is found at Kimmons Hill and Rogers Hill to the northwest, while the southeastern corner is marked by lower creek bottoms and local landmarks such as Mitchel Lake and Forrest Memorial Park.
