2012 Map of Sweatman

About this map

Sweatman and Alva anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the rural character of Montgomery County is defined by a dense network of local roads and creek drainages. The area is notable for its numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Cox and Carver Cem and Parker Cem, which suggest long-established family lineages in this part of Mississippi. The topography is shaped by the winding paths of Little Bogue and its tributaries like Dunn Cr and Little Mouse Cr. Small, scattered settlements such as Misterton and Redding are connected by namesake routes like Misterton Rd and Cadaretta Rd, illustrating a settlement pattern where local infrastructure directly follows the early rural community centers. These geographic relationships offer a clear view of the area's social and environmental organization before modern expansion.
