About this map

Benton and Carroll counties meet amidst a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the upper reaches of Seventeen Creek and Fourteen Creek. This region is dotted with family and community landmarks that reflect its long-standing rural heritage. Notable among these are numerous burial sites such as Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Ellis Cemetery, and the Palestine Cemetery. The northern edge of the map features the small settlement of Crossroads and the nearby Pierce Cole Cemetery.

A sense of historical depth is provided by the presence of the Old Natchez Trace Trail in the eastern hills, a significant corridor for early travel. The map also highlights local gathering spots and water features like Lester Jackson Lake and the Cotton Creek Hunting Club Lake. These elements, alongside roads such as Sawyers Mill Road and Liberty Church Road, showcase a terrain where traditional land use and small-scale community centers remain central to the local geography.
