2012 Map of Sardis

About this map

The town of Sardis and its agricultural surroundings in Panola County are meticulously documented in this 2012 survey. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Crooked Cr and the multiple forks of Bear Creek, including N Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr, which carve through the terrain toward the Little Tallahatchie River in the southeast. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from Rose Hill Cem near the town center to family or community plots such as McIvor Cem, Hebron Cem, and Walton Cem. The settlement of McIvor sits west of the main town, while the transition from flat farmland to the river valley is marked by Jonathans Bluff. The modern transportation corridor, dominated by the interstate, contrasts with the network of older routes like Old Panola Rd and Bakersville Rd that connect these rural communities.
