Sherman and Belden anchor the northern reaches of this Mississippi landscape, where the borders of Union, Pontotoc, and Lee counties converge. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous waterways, including Town Creek, Busfaloba Creek, and Little Coonewah Creek, which carve through the elevations of Birmingham Ridge. In the southern portion of the map, the urban expansion of Tupelo is evident near the Tupelo Regional Airport, while the Natchez Trace Parkway cuts across the southeastern corner, following an ancient corridor of travel. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Old Macedonia Cem and Old Chesterville Cem, are scattered throughout the rural sections, offering significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots near the settlement of Chesterville.
