2018 Map of Stronghope

About this map

Lake Lincoln serves as a central geographic anchor for this Mississippi landscape, which is defined by the winding drainages of Little Bahala Creek and Fords Creek. The terrain spans the border between Copiah and Lincoln Counties, revealing a rural settlement pattern rooted in small communities like Stronghope, Woolworth, and Sand Hill. For those tracing local genealogy or land use, the map identifies numerous burial sites, including Stronghope Cemetery and Little Bahala Cemetery, often located near crossroads and creek bends. The road network, comprising local routes like Beauregard Road and Mission Hill Road NE, follows the natural contours of the ridges and valleys between Bear Creek and Little Beaverdam Creek, illustrating how the physical topography has historically dictated the movement and development of this southern Mississippi region.
