2021 Map of Rienzi

About this map

The town of Rienzi and the settlement of Biggersville anchor this northern Mississippi landscape, situated along the border of Alcorn and Prentiss counties. The area is defined by a dense network of small family burial plots and historic church grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical fabric of the community. Of particular interest is the presence of the Shiloh National Battlefield and the Stockade Cem near the eastern edge. Local history is literally etched into the terrain at sites like the Ann Eliza Ross-Hord Gravesite and Tuscumbias Grave. Numerous waterways, including the Tuscumbia River and several creek systems like Mays Creek and Hinkle Cr, wind through the township, which was historically connected by the Railroad Br near the community of Jobes.
