2015 Map of Slayden

About this map

Slayden and Early Grove serve as the primary anchors for this northern Mississippi landscape, situated just south of the border between Marshall County and Fayette County. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Isom Chapel Cem, Bethel Cem, and Kimbrough Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous waterways, including Little Coldwater Creek and Clear Creek, leading down toward the Coldwater River in the southwest. A distinct transition in land use is visible near the Sand Flats, while the presence of Jeter Field and the Mill Pond northeast of Slayden suggests a history of local agriculture and resource management. The map's road network, featuring routes like Slayden Road and Concord Road, connects these small rural hubs and their scattered landmarks.
