About this map

Sardis Dam stands as the central engineering feat of this Panola County landscape, holding the waters of Sardis Lake above the Little Tallahatchie River. The 1982 topography reveals a region defined by modern recreation and older rural foundations, where the John W Kyle State Park and numerous public use areas like Moccasin Point and Beach Point flank the reservoir's edge. This layer of 20th-century development overlies a network of traditional community landmarks, including Simon Chapel No 1, Union Ch, and several family burial grounds such as Liberty Cem and Belmont Cem. The map illustrates the careful management of the river valley, showing the intricate system of spillways, a Gaging Station, and drainage features like Patton Creek and Clarendon Creek that navigate the ridges and lowlands surrounding the massive earth-fill dam.
