2015 Map of Smithville

About this map

The Tombigbee River corridor defines the landscape of this Northeast Mississippi region, where the massive waters of Pool B dominate the central terrain. The settlement of Smithville sits near the eastern shore, a focal point of local activity alongside smaller communities like Carolina to the north and Flinn to the south. This survey captures a moment in time where the river's engineering meets rural life, illustrated by features such as the Weaver Cutoff and the northern reaches of Amory. Genealogists and local historians can find significant value in the distribution of family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Conwill Cem, New Chapel Cem, and Dunlap Cem. The complex drainage network of Boguefaba Creek and Bull Mountain Creek highlights the wetlands and varied topography that have long shaped land use and road patterns in Monroe and Itawamba Counties.
