2021 Map of Sparta

About this map

Sparta and Sonora anchor this rural landscape in the northeastern corner of Mississippi, where the border of Chickasaw and Clay Counties cuts through a terrain defined by winding creeks. The modern Natchez Trace Pkwy sweeps across the northwest quadrant, following the historic travel corridor past Chickasaw Memorial Gardens. For those tracing local families, the map identifies several rural burial grounds, including Oak Grove Cem near Sparta and Macedonia Cem to the northeast. The geography is dominated by a complex network of waterways such as Houlka Cr and Horse Nation Cr, which feed into the lowlands. Small-scale aviation is represented by Kimmel Airport, located near the center of the survey area, while the eastern edge is marked by Linn Lake and the New Hope Cem.
