2020 Map of Sweatman

About this map

Sweatman and the surrounding borderlands of Montgomery, Grenada, and Webster Counties are defined by a dense network of creek valleys and family burial grounds. The settlement of Alva sits at a crossroads in the southeast, while small rural clusters like Misterton and Lilac are linked by winding roads such as Misterton Rd and Harmony Rd. This landscape is particularly notable for its high concentration of cemeteries, including the Harmony Cem Cox and Carver Cem and Providence Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Mississippi. Drainage patterns here are dominated by the Little Bogue and its tributaries, including Dunn Cr and Coffe Br, which carve through the terrain and dictated the placement of early homes and crossings like the Alva Stage Rd.
