2021 Map of Sardis

About this map

The town of Sardis serves as a focal point for this Panola County landscape, anchored by the Panola County Courthouse and a dense network of residential streets like Claremont ST and Magnolia ST. The surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage basins of the Little Tallahatchie River and its tributaries, including N Fork Bear Cr and S Fork Bear Cr. This modern survey reveals a countryside deeply etched with local history, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as McIver Cem and Bishop Cem. To the southeast, the topography drops toward the river at Jonathans Bluff, while the Belmont Bridge provides a critical crossing point. The map preserves the exact locations of rural landmarks like Davis Chapel and the Davis Cem, reflecting a settlement pattern where small churches and cemeteries remain vital geographic markers amidst the evolving road network of north Mississippi.
