2015 Map of Seminary

About this map

Okatoma Creek winds through the heart of this Covington County landscape, punctuated by the localized drop of Seminary Falls. The town of Seminary serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller rural settlements like Eminence, Kelly, and Bethel. This area is heavily marked by its local heritage, with numerous family-named cemeteries such as Williamson Cem, Speed Cem, and Lebanon Cem distributed among the headwaters of Manasco Br and Curry Cr. To the east, the landscape transitions into Morgan Field and the edges of Jones County. The intricate web of local roads, from Frank Speed Rd to Myron Stringer Rd, reflects a long-established pattern of rural homesteads and timber-related topography. The convergence of numerous branches, including Wolfpen Br and Gills Br, into the main creek channel highlights the importance of the local drainage system to the development of these Mississippi communities.
