2020 Map of Sebastopol

About this map

Sebastopol sits at the nexus of Leake, Scott, and Newton counties, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding course of Sipsey Creek and its many tributaries. This corner of east-central Mississippi is marked by small crossroads settlements and family-linked burial grounds, such as Salem Cem and High Hill Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage. The topography transitions from the northern heights near High Hill down through the drainage basins of Bogue Faliah and Bollybusha Cr. Historical transport patterns are visible through the dense network of county roads like Sistrunk Rd and Old Salem Rd, which connect the rural outposts of Salem, Kitchener, and Prospect. A notable geographic detail is the Sulphur Spring located near t8n r10e, suggesting the natural mineral features that often dictated early settlement locations and community gathering points in this region.
