About this map

The Pontotoc County Courthouse and Pontotoc County Chancery Court anchor the historic seat of Pontotoc in the northwest corner of this map, which transitions into a landscape of rural hamlets and creek bottoms. The terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems including Chiwapa Cr, Calloway Creek, and Donaldson Cr. Notable topographic features such as Cates Cove and Gideon Bend illustrate the varied relief of the region.

Local history is preserved through a dense network of burial sites and small settlements. Genealogists can trace family names at several points, including Ebenezer Cem, College Hill Cem, and McCleskey Cem. The map documents the layout of established communities like Chiwapa, Zion, and Woodland, showing their relationship to the primary road networks and the seasonal watercourses that have shaped the development of southern Pontotoc County.
