2012 Map of Shannon

About this map

Shannon serves as the primary population center in this part of northeastern Mississippi, where a network of rural roads connects established communities like Pine Grove and Poplar Springs. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage system, featuring winding watercourses such as Tubbalubba Cr, Chiwapa Cr, and Tallabinnela Cr that crisscross the agricultural terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including the Whiteside (Family) Cem and New Prospect Cem, alongside the shared grounds of Dotys Chapel Cem and Temples Cem. Aviation history is represented by the Okolona Municipal-Richard Stovall Field Airport in the southern portion of the sheet. The area's transport evolution is evident in the transition from local routes to larger thoroughfares like Old Highway 45, which bypasses the older residential cores.
