About this map

Sweatman and Alva are the primary focal points of this northern Mississippi landscape, where the borders of Montgomery, Grenada, Calhoun, and Webster counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Little Bogue, Butputter Creek, and Redgrass Creek, which dictate the winding paths of rural connectors like Sweatman Road and Alva Road. Smaller settlements such as Lilac, Misterton, and Redding are interspersed throughout the interior, often marked by local crossroads or family-named landmarks.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through numerous community burying grounds, including Red Hill Cemetery, Providence Cemetery, and Cox and Carver Cemetery. These sites, along with Harmony Cemetery and Parker Cemetery, indicate the dispersed residential patterns of the area. The map illustrates a rural economy tied to the land, where small creeks like Mouse Creek and Dunn Creek carve through the topography between quiet township lines.
