About this map

The Tippah County Courthouse and Tippah County Chancery Building anchor the downtown grid of Ripley, the administrative heart of Tippah County. This 2024 survey captures the community's layout from the dense residential streets around Ripley Cem to the outlying settlements of Buena Vista and Clarysville. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the headwaters of the Little Hatchie River and the Little Tallahatchie River originate.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Palmer Cem, New Hope Cem, and Wiers Chapel Cem. The transition from the developed town center to the broad lowlands of Green Bottom and Adkins Bottom illustrates the persistent relationship between the local geography and the rural road network, which includes historic thoroughfares like the Old Ashland and Ripley Rd.
