About this map

Tupelo and its northern outskirts anchor this Mississippi landscape, where the Tupelo Regional Airport marks the transition from residential developments like Wildwood and Tracewood to the surrounding rural crossroads. The topography is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Coonewah Cr, Little Coonewah Cr, and Town Cr, which carve through the intersection of Lee, Union, and Pontotoc counties. This drainage pattern historically influenced the placement of early settlements and roads, creating a network of small community hubs.

Rural life is anchored by a significant concentration of local landmarks, such as Chesterville, Belden, and Sherman. The area is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, from Maxey Cem to Old Macedonia Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of the region. Transportation corridors like McCullough Blvd and Highway 178 connect these smaller hamlets, following the natural rises and falls of the land between creek basins.
