About this map

The Ross R Barnett Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this territory, where the waters of the Pearl River valley meet the historic overland routes of Madison County. The Natchez Trace Pkwy and National Scenic Trail cuts a diagonal swath through the center of the sheet, paralleling the Old Natchez Trce, which offers a glimpse into the earlier transit corridors of the region. This modern survey is particularly notable for its dense concentration of family burial grounds and small community cemeteries.

Genealogists can find numerous sites such as the Beale Family Cem, Galloway Family Cem, and Wiggins Family Cem near the settlement of Madisonville. Further north, the landscape transitions into a mix of rural airfields like Eagle Crest Estates Airport and small hamlets including Shoccoe. Waterways such as Tilda Bogue and Walnut Cr drain the undulating terrain, defining the boundaries of the local land tracts.
