About this map

Stronghope and Woolworth anchor this rural landscape in the piney woods of southern Mississippi, where the boundary of Copiah and Lincoln Counties divides the terrain. The area is defined by its intricate drainage network, with the headwaters of Bahala Creek and Little Bahala Creek carving subtle valleys through the hills. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of dispersed settlement connected by an extensive system of named local roads such as Beauregard Road and Timberlane Road, which link isolated homesteads and small communities.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites recorded across the quadrangle, including Franklin Chapel Cemetery, Stronghope Cemetery, and Little Memorial Cemetery. The presence of several smaller family or community plots, such as Warren Cemetery and Thompson Cemetery, suggests long-standing family ties to the land. These landmarks, alongside features like Sand Hill and the small siding at Rafn, provide a detailed look at the rural character of this region during the early 21st century.
