2020 Map of Shoccoe

About this map

Madisonville and the rural community of Shoccoe sit at the intersection of modern recreational infrastructure and deep Mississippi history in this 2020 survey. The landscape is defined by the Natchez Trace Pkwy and the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, which cut a diagonal path across the terrain toward the expansive Ross R Barnett Reservoir and the Pearl River. This confluence of water and historic transit routes has preserved a remarkable number of family burial sites and small churchyards, including the Galloway Family Cem, Zion Chapel Cem, and Madisonville - Holland Cem. To the north, the outskirts of Canton give way to a network of creeks like Tilda Bogue and Walnut Cr. The map captures the area's transition from the residential clusters of Eagle Crest Estates Airport to the marshes of Tupelo Gum Slough and the Goshen Springs Campground.
