2018 Map of Southeast Pontotoc

About this map

Pontotoc anchors the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the street grid of the county seat transitions into the rolling creek valleys of the Mississippi hill country. The map detail follows the drainage patterns of Chiwapa Creek and its tributaries, including Calloway Cr and Goodford Cr, which carve through the rural terrain south of Zion. This area is marked by a high density of historic burial grounds, serving as a primary record for family researchers. From College Hill Cem in the northeast to McCluskey Cem and Ware Cem in the south, these sites indicate the locations of early rural communities. Smaller settlements like Chiwapa and Woodland are situated among a complex network of local roads such as Black Zion Rd and Rackley Loop, illustrating the persistent agricultural settlement patterns of Pontotoc County.
