About this map

The D'Artaguette Battlefield serves as a significant historical anchor in this portion of Pontotoc County, marking a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of creek drainages. Moving south from the outskirts of Pontotoc, the terrain is segmented by several watercourses including Naugher Cr, Chiwapa Cr, and Tallabinnela Cr. These creeks historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries that dot the countryside today, such as Ebenezer Cem and College Hill Cem.

Local navigation follows established routes like Donaldson Rd and Toxish Rd, connecting the communities of Chiwapa, Woodland, and Smerney. The southern reaches of the map are characterized by the Troy Lookout Tower, overlooking a mosaic of timber and agricultural land. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between 18th-century colonial conflict sites and the enduring rural infrastructure of the 21st century.
