2015 Map of Sardis

About this map

The town of Sardis serves as the primary hub in this Panola County landscape, where grid-patterned streets like McLaurine St and Hightower St meet the corridor of modern transit. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of family-named cemeteries, including Mount Level Cem, Hebron Cem, and Walton Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of N Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr, which drain toward the Little Tallahatchie River in the south. To the east, the elevation rises toward Jonathans Bluff, overlooking the river valley. The map documents the transition from the organized town center of Sardis to the outlying rural settlements such as McIvor, illustrating the enduring spatial relationship between agricultural land and the community's ancestral resting places.
