2015 Map of Sandy Hook NW

About this map

New Hope and the surrounding piney woods of Marion County are documented in this 2015 study, which highlights a landscape of dispersed rural settlements and small family landmarks. Near the Marion Co/Walthall Co border, the terrain is defined by a network of creeks including Silver Creek and Tenmile Creek. The map shows a high concentration of local burial sites, such as Lott Memorial Cemetery and Turnage Chapel Cemetery, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. Transportation routes vary from state-maintained corridors like Old MS 24 to narrow forest tracks like Shiloh Firetower Road. Settlement clusters at Sumbax and Hamage illustrate the persistent rural character of the area, while the Browns Landing Airport provides a modern aviation landmark amidst the traditional farm and timber lands.
