2018 Map of Seminary

About this map

Okatoma Creek flows southward through this landscape, defining the drainage patterns for a network of tributaries such as Military Br and Bullock Cr. The settlement of Seminary sits near the southwestern corner, while Oak Bowery and Eminence occupy the northern reaches of the quadrangle. This area of Mississippi is characterized by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Eminence Cem, Bethel Cem, and Crosby Cem, reflecting a long-standing pattern of rural land ownership. A complex web of local roads, many bearing family names like Abercrombie Knight Rd and Stuart Leggett Rd, connects the scattered farms and homesteads. Local worship is centered at sites like Lebanon Church and Union Church, which serve as landmarks along the winding creek branches and hillsides.
