2024 Map of Smithville

About this map

Smithville and the surrounding borderlands of Itawamba and Monroe Counties are defined by the significant engineering of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The river landscape includes Pool B and the original course of the Tombigbee River, creating a complex network of wetlands and channels like Blue Water Creek and Caldwell Branch. The map records several small settlements and crossroads, including Carolina to the northwest and the small community of Flinn south of the main waterway. Local genealogy is well-supported by the inclusion of numerous burial grounds such as Conwill Cem, New Chapel CME Cem, and Dunlap Cem. The southern edge of the sheet captures the outskirts of Amory, showing its proximity to Malone Lake and Burketts Creek. This layout illustrates the modern balance between heavy water infrastructure and traditional rural Mississippi settlements.
