About this map

Yockanookany River meanders through the western reaches of this Attala County landscape, defining the local drainage alongside several significant creeks. The area is characterized by a series of small, rural communities connected by a network of county roads, including the historic Natchez Trace Pkwy which skims the western edge. Central to the map's geography are settlements such as Knox, Dossville, and Dowell, which appear as crossroads of activity.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family-named burial grounds and historic sites. From Fletchers Xing in the north to Singleton in the south, researchers can trace the locations of numerous cemeteries like Fletcher Cem, Isaac Cem, and Dorsey Cem. The eastern portion is home to Nile and Barnes, while specialized agricultural features like the Scrivner Poultry Farm and the peaceful Holly Hill Picnic Area highlight the contemporary rural economy and community life.
